drnykterstein Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Charged with a "federal count of conveying threats while talking to tellers" eh? If only he conveyed the threats to the janitor, he might not be in jail.

The Dean Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendme...es_Constitution Exceptions to the 1st Amendment include: (1) Defamation: Defamation consists of a publication of a statement of alleged fact which is false and which harms the reputation of another person.... (2) Causing panic: The classic example of speech which is not protected by the First Amendment, because it causes panic, is falsely shouting "fire" in a crowded theater... (3) Fighting words: In the famous case of Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the First Amendment does not protect "fighting words -- those which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace."... 4) Incitement to crime: It is a crime to incite someone else to commit a crime, and such speech is not protected by the First Amendment.... (5) Sedition: Although not without controversy, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld statutes which prohibit the advocacy of unlawful conduct against the government or the violent overthrow of the government. ... 6) Obscenity... ETC. http://www.csulb.edu/~jvancamp/freedom1.html
pBills Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 So he mentions wanting to kill the President. Hmmm, I guess they should just wait and see what happens.
blzrul Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 So what's the problem? The guy has a right to free speech and guns and, after all, that's why we have a VICE PRESIDENT.
pBills Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 So what's the problem? The guy has a right to free speech and guns and, after all, that's why we have a VICE PRESIDENT. The right to free speech has limits no? Like yelling fire in a crowded building? Funny on the VP part.
KD in CA Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 So what's the problem? The guy has a right to free speech and guns and, after all, that's why we have a VICE PRESIDENT. Good point. Oh wait...the VP is Joe Biden. Someone please double Obama's guard detail.
blzrul Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 The right to free speech has limits no? Like yelling fire in a crowded building? Funny on the VP part. I was being sarcastic on the free speech thing. (you can't yell fire! but can you yell AIDS? Swine flu?) hee hee
DC Tom Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 I was being sarcastic on the free speech thing. (you can't yell fire! but can you yell AIDS? Swine flu?) hee hee "AIDS!" and "Swine flu!", yes. "Fire!" and "Look, there's Madeline Albright in spandex!", no.
Chef Jim Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 "AIDS!" and "Swine flu!", yes. "Fire!" and "Look, there's Madeline Albright in spandex!", no. !@#$ing eh Tom....I'm eating lunch here.
The Big Cat Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 "AIDS!" and "Swine flu!", yes. "Fire!" and "Look, there's Madeline Albright in spandex!", no. Mmmmmmm spider veins and groin flab...mmmmm...

GOBILLS78 Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Yeah, hi, just popping in. Umm, is this the Hitler-Owens video thread?
Adam Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Since we continually scream socialist, I'd like to pose this question- when is somebody finally going to call for moving the military to the private sector?
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 when you say you WANT to KILL someone that's not a good thing. But if the kook threatened Bush / Cheney would it be different? You have a right to disagree with someone. you don't have the right to want to kill them.
IDBillzFan Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 You have a right to disagree with someone. you don't have the right to want to kill them. Actually, I have every right to want to kill someone.
