    Re: POTUS 45.18 - Who Run Derpertown? McMasterBlaster Run Derpertown.

    There are some very fine people on the right.

    Vandals who threw paint on a Confederate statue in Springfield, Missouri should be "hung from a tall tree with a long rope," {State Representative Warren Love (R-Osceola)} wrote on Facebook earlier today.
    With pic looking exactly as you assume he does.

    Love told the Post-Dispatch that he didn't literally want the vandals lynched.

    "That was an exaggerated statement that, you know, a lot of times is used in the Western world when somebody does a crime or commits theft. ... That's just a Western term and I'm very much a Western man. You know, I wear a coat. You know, I dress Western. And, you know, I'm the cowboy of the Capitol."

      One protest is not a course of conduct over a period of time. It's one protest.

      Using your logic, every protest ever would be considered harassment, since they all involve shouting words that some will disagree with/find offensive (I particularly get offended at the banality of "hey hey, ho ho, this one thing has got to go" protests).

      Laws governing speech and speech related conduct have to be content neutral with rare exceptions (obscenity being the primary one). A good rule of thumb is to replace whatever word you find offensive with some nonsense word. If it would still be harassment at that point, the person can be arrested. If not, then they can't, even if you find their words to be despicable.

        You and other apologists are not all that different.

          Nevertheless, absent an imminent incitement of violence, it is protected.

              God, I'm glad you mentioned this. This has to be the dumbest thing we do, and we do so many dumb things. Liberals are supposed to read books -- FFS, put a little effort into it people.

                Fair enough, like I said I wasn't familiar with the legal framework of what constitutes harassment.

                Using your logic, every protest ever would be considered harassment, since they all involve shouting words that some will disagree with/find offensive (I particularly get offended at the banality of "hey hey, ho ho, this one thing has got to go" protests).
                No not really.

                Laws governing speech and speech related conduct have to be content neutral with rare exceptions (obscenity being the primary one). A good rule of thumb is to replace whatever word you find offensive with some nonsense word. If it would still be harassment at that point, the person can be arrested.

                Right, there are exceptions and in this case I think you can reasonably make one. Shouting fire in a crowded theater isn't a whole lot worse than calling the other side of a protest that isn't all that far away from you the N word or something along those lines. (Especially when you or they have guns, pretty sure you're not allowed to start confrontations and then end them with guns except in Florida)

                  The reason the "fighting words" exception to the first amendment is all but officially overruled is because one person's fighting words is another's political speech. And you don't want the government making that determination because your party might wind up on the losing side of that argument at some point.

                  Edit: the textbook case on "fighting words" involved a guy in the 70s wearing a jacket that said "(Fark) the Draft" into a courthouse who got arrested for disturbing the peace. The Court ultimately overturned it, but it illustrates my point.

                      Yeah I'm sure that's what South Park told you, thanks Brent.

                      I don't watch South Park.

                      And you've been cop hating on here for a few years now.


                      On the one hand, you decry certain speech and think it maybe shouldn't be protected - shouting slurs, etc.

                      On the other, you explain away speech that could (and likely has) incite(d).

                      Best part is... you don't even see that you're doing it.


                      And I lean towards punching Nazis in the face, so no... Brent and I don't see this the same.

                      Nazis have a right to say what they want and I can want to punch them for it.

                      Of course, if I do, I should be held legally responsible for my actions.

                        Yeah because thinking cops should be held legally responsible for unlawful killings means I hate all of them

                        And yeah you're trying to draw some parallel that is non-existent here. It's not even remotely the same and it's basically Sica-lite.

                            Holding bad cops accountable for when they indiscriminately murder unarmed and innocent people is not "hating." Good cops should be against those bad cops, too.

                            The problem is that far too often good cops reflexively defend bad cops no matter what horrific sh-t they've done out of misplaced loyalty and solidarity. This is exactly what happens when minority communities defend gangs, soldiers defend rapists and murderers in their ranks, and the Church defends pedophiles. Blind loyalty is ape behavior.

                            Now add that conservative political correctness dictates it is anathema to ever criticize the police, and we wind up with the accusation of "cop hating."

                                I agree with all of that and support the BLM movement, if not all of their tactics.

                                I'm only speaking to what I remember as Trixie's bias from the Ferguson threads. He wasn't objective on this matter.
