ction Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 There's a difference between being allowed to write and publish Little House on the Prarie fan fiction, and being allowed to come in my house and read your Little House on the Prairie fan fiction while sitting, naked, on my leather couch. Or something. Anyway, Power to the Peephole!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Good Old Neon Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 A person may have a right to say anything but may also face criminal charges. There are hate crimes centered around speech, making threats of physical harm, terrorist threats, saying stupid shit at airports or against the President, against a spouse, against a stranger even, etc. Feel free to say whatever you want, but there are limits and criminal consequences for some speech. Not that it matters, in a strictly legal sense, but I do not agree with Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So what did I do? I took my camera and badgered the hell out of those dudes. Got some great pics too btw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JerseyMike Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Dunno -- I remember when the nazi's wanted to march in Skokie IL -- home to numerous jews and at the time a number of survivors of death camps. I was sympathetic to them wanting the march stopped, which I believe it was. Did that case go to the Supreme Court where it was decided that the Nazi's were allowed to March? Anyway, I firmly believe that people have the right to say whatever the hell they want, no matter how hurtful or ignorant the words might be. (sticks and stones....) Once you start drawing lines about what people can say and where, where do you stop? The greatest thing about free speech is that it makes it easier to tell who the assholes are.

The greatest thing about free speech is that it makes it easier to tell who the assholes are.Are freedom of speech issues the same as right to assemble issues, though? There are lines that shouldn't be crossed without legal consequences. You can't announce that you are going to blow up a building or stab the clerk at the corner store because he short-changed you without legal consequences. This is curbing your "right" to say what you want with immunity. There are lines that can't be crossed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think the deal is - they can't march with the hoods covering their face. Those dudes are old hat compared to the white power/skinhead movement - they are far more dangerous. They are getting very smart these days - by not looking like a freak, and not covering themselves with tattoos. It's the same reason the Hare Krishna's began dressing like college students when they show up on campus - to blend in as a means to better spread their message. I think the triple K aligns itself with christian beliefs these days to get people to more readily accept their message. One time, when I was in the service, me and some friends of mine (who were almost all from The South by the way), and some other dudes put a hurting on some skinhead sonsabitches in a back alley in Long Beach one night.

Threats of violence are rightly illegal, and different from stating one's opinion, which is fine with me, no matter what the opinion. Unless, of course, the stating of one's opinion manifests itself as a threat of violence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
