  1. Well, I wouldn't object, so I don't what the problem would be... (ducks for cover)
  2. Kincaid is already out. Brown could be a decision made in warm ups, for all we know, and Gouraige being elevated might be a precaution in case he cannot go.
  3. Always thought Mahomes ran knida funny.
  4. Mami are capable of doing that, though. A couple of banged up players on D and they can hurt you with all that speed. We have been spoiled with the way we have kept them in check the last few years.
  5. He gets the call from the box, which has a better view of things than him. But still sucks the box guy got it wrong.
  6. With Shakir having a good game last week it might mean the Ravens do not concentrate so much of their D against Kincaid - so I will pick him on my O. Rousseau for the D as he is such an important piece to our run D.
  7. Just read Slow Horses by Mick Herron. Excellent spy fiction (the books that form the basis of the Gary Oldman vehicle on Apple+). Finishing off To the Lighthouse by Woolf. Good read, but not exactly my thing. Have recently finished a couple of non fiction books - Factfulness by Hans Rosling and Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker. Excellent books that show the world is improving (as opposed to the daily grind of sensational news stories that might make it seem otherwise). Both are full of facts and figures to show a more optimistic future than you might think. They also do point out there is still a lot of bad things in the world, just less than before.
  8. Well, the US law on incitement is broadly similar to UK law. (Brandenburg vs Ohio). Trump was impeached for incitement, for a more recent example. That was the crime for which he faced trial in the senate. So it is most definitely a criminal offence in the US. As for overzealous enforcement. The joy of deciding these cases is that the evidence is literally in black and white.
  9. Freedom of speech does have legal limitations. Always has and always will. This is true of every western nation. Even the USA. If you slander someone they can take legal action. If you libel someone you can take legal action. (Recent examples: Heard/Depp, Giuliani/false claims about multiple things, Fox News/false claims about voting machines). If you conspire to commit an illegal act - that is a crime. If you incite others to commit an illegal act - that is a crime. Freedom of speech does not protect you in such circumstances. This is not anything new. Julius Streicher was rightly hanged because of what he published, in the most extreme case. Those being investigated and prosecuted for incitement over things they wrote on various platforms will have their day in court. Similar things happened during the much more serious rioting in 2011.
