Kindly point out the criminal aspects of the incinerating words?

He confessed repeatedly to be engaged in motherfcking criminal activities.

We need to get Eric Clapton in jail for shooting that Sheriff pronto.

Well, they say that it is China's century. Didn't realize this extended to us replicating their domestic media model and forwarding the State's interest of total civilian control. Silly me.

Don't worry l33tbro, its a lot less "messy" when pesky civilians can't get in your way with their own thoughts, agendas, and behaviors.

The interesting thing is that he's hardly alone when it comes to this type of muse…

Might as well arrest Ab Soul for his "Terrorist Threats"… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_71q5lVEjc

And Ice Cube for his recent song "Everything's Corrupt"…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dGXUJ5iOd4

> a bill for the time he spent locked up in prison on trumped up charges? Am I reading this right? Are you saying that they charge you for time you spend involuntarily in prison?

Yes. That surprised me as well.

DA's working with the CCA… Kanye West had some words on this subject.

I'm more concerned about the lady who gave Bon Jovi severe chest trauma, thereby giving love a bad name.

The title is written as if unlawful statements are somehow made legal when posted on Facebook. The site then goes on to make a big deal about that: "all for something he posted on Facebook". Of course statements made on Facebook can be criminal. Threats against another are not neutralized because they happen online. Neither is a criminal conspiracy. So the article blithely pretending that this alone should make us ou…

Certainly criminal statements can be written on Facebook, but could you point out what that is in this case? Should Ice-T have been imprisoned for Cop Killer?

Absolutely nothing, which is why it's all the more absurd that the article pretends they cannot.

Which "criminal activities" would they be, specifically?

"Terroristic Threats" are one way that free speech is under attack. Another is harassment laws. Law student Anya Bargh was arrested for sending an email saying "Let’s celebrate diversity by having the next dean NOT be Jewish." If that isn't protected speech I don't know what is. http://www.volokh.com/2013/05/03/law-student-arrested-chiefl...

In reading the above link, it's obvious that her arrest stems from more than just that one email, but rather a series of email messages and online comments that some had claimed were harassment.

That being said, it most likely is still protected free speech, as odious as those messages and postings were. I think the case will be dismissed, but her future in law school is probably over.
