Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit [W:439, 529, 978, 1489]

Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

So the first punch can't be the rhetorical one that starts a riot or mass murder?
There are limits to every amendment, including the first .

Okay, let's go with that. South Park makes fun of Muslims all the time. If an extremist Muslim murdered some voice actors and the producers of the show, would you really blame the show creators? I mean, really. Really???

I honestly hope you're not suggesting that people who make fun of religions should be held legally responsible for violent acts against them. You're not really saying that, are you?
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

He's a coward, noting that the doesn't actually have the authority to do that.
Noting as well that suddenly our liberal friends favor discrimination

So YER telling me I favor discrimination right?
Why are you calling liberals cowards?
Why is everything with you--liberals wrong?

Were any liberals making those drawings?
Why do Jewish-Americans vote 75% for liberals--and at a very high percentage of their voter bloc?

This is a Mayor of a town in the RED state of Texas--not a BLUE state of California .
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Speech that incites a riot is not protected.
I don't support Nazis in Jewish neighborhoods either .

So tell us ... what kind of speech shouldn't be protected. Give very specific examples.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

The rioter is the one who is not protected, excep n Baltimore of course

What does Baltimore have to do with Garland, Texas?
Since you bring up Baltimore, how did that start--its genesis ?

Blemonds is one of those guys who blames "the left" for literally everything he doesn't like.

Conservative speech of course

Are you aware of any kind of speech that the SCOTUS does not protect?
Or are you saying that the SCOTUS has always upheld every kind of speech, such as hate speech ?

Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Noted subway-uglifier Pamela Geller has a new target for one of her terrible ad campaigns: The "communist" Bill de Blasio, and his horrifying proposal to stop the NYPD from spying on Muslims without evidence of a crime. The new ads, set to go up in the week before the election, accuse de Blasio of essentially partnering with terrorists to turn New York into a communist hellscape. But as Geller's blog reveals, her real beef isn't with "red" Bill de Blasio, but with the news media who refused to cover her idiotic campaign.

Back to the conservative/liberal meme, huh Blemonds?
Nothing has ever come from me to not protect conservative speech.
But I do wish YER House and Senate could get its act together with itself .

I follow the law--how about YOU ?

Got obtuse--you know how to use the Google better than I--I'm sure YER up on their "blame" cards already .

Is making fun of religion considered inciting a riot per the law?

"Speech that incites a riot is not protected?" That's not a very accurate statement of the rule from Brandenburg v. Ohio. Here is an accurate one. Speech that creates a clear and present danger of imminent lawless action is not protected by the First Amendment. Speech creates that danger when it is directed to producing or inciting imminent lawless action AND is likely to produce or incite such action.

No one in Garland engaged in any speech that came anywhere near meeting this description. The exhibitions for the contest were a perfectly legitimate expression of the freedom of speech by the people involved. Any American who advocates self-censorship in the face of violence like that the two dead attackers intended is abetting Islamic jihadists, even if inadvertently.

You're not really saying that, are you?

Did you support the burning of the Kuran a few years back? I didn't.
Do you support burning our flag in public? I don't.
Do you support Westboro Church protesting at our soldiers funerals? Once again, I don't.

YOU may have noticed we don't live at the same time as when this Constitution was written--we will always be at war from here on out.
We have enough problems without those who intentionally incite violence.

Though I should just cheer Geller on--as she scares the **** out of mainstream Americans .
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Gratuitously making fun of religion, or any provocation against a religion for the benefit of a good laugh is ignorant and irresponsible. Geller is doing her damnedest to get somebody killed.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

That is YER opinion.
Geller is a conservative trying to divide America--something the party of Nixon can't let go of--my opinion .
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Doing anything that might make any Muslim anywhere feel all icky and invalidated is inciting a riot! Slandering all hell out of Christians and Jews whenever possible, on the other hand, is never wrong, and always praiseworthy.

That is my informed opinion as a lawyer.
