Uuuuuuuuh, you guys do know that Missouri has since passed an cyber bullying law, right?

Passing such a law is another knee jerk reaction to an emotional issue.

Just like the creation of the TSA, Department of Homeland Security and the Patriot Acts were after 9/11.

Besides which, "bill of attainder" and "ex pos factos" are foreign concepts to some people.

True.

Sadly it seems that the US Constitutoin is no longer taught or studied in our public schools these days.

You should wrap your head around the fact that the prosecutor in this case has more legal experience then you do.

Hey man, 5 Damn justices of the SUPREME COURT just said your property could be seized and given to another private individual. Your point? A Damn J.D. doesn't make someone right.

This would set a precedent that would KILL the very thing you're on right now. Why? I would close this ****er down if I was faced with jail time over the shit we do to DUmmies. Count on it.

RightCoast, NO law should be created when it's emotionally-based and sorry sir, that law was CLEARLY emotionally-based.

Don't be sorry.  You didn't write nor pass that POS law.

I cann see one of the little goons committing suicide, which is more probable than improbable, and afterwards the family of the dead little goon claiming the suicide was caused by the constant ridicule on CC of the little goon's most cherished political beliefs.

I detect your sarcasm.  :whatever:

Let it become a ****ing law and see how you like it.  ::)

As for me, I'll bow out. If WE wants to continue it on, fine. I won't spend one ****ing day in jail for someone else's opinion. ....which is what this precedent will set.

You need to adjust your detector.  I wasn't being sarcastic. 

I detect defensiveness.   :whatever:  It stinks.  ::)

I started the topic and I can lock it myself without any admins and mods. There is a lock icon on any topic you start. I am not the kind of person who likes to lock topics, let alone delete them. If it goes out of hand, I will go ahead and lock it, but not right now.

Back on topic. The federal case seems to be very polarizing with two factions. On the other hand, both sides view Lori Drew as a rotten low life of the lowest denominator. This case does remind me of Wanda Holloway.

we know there have been cases tried before to hold people responsible for the actions of others. I don't know if it compares, but Ozzy Osbourne faced charges over his music. Anyone remember that? Didn' they try to hold him legally liable for the death of a kid who was into his music?

I'll google, but anyway, I wanted to throw that out there. The internet is different and this case is different in that Drew targeted an individual. But the concept of listening to music and logging on to the internet are kind of the same - voluntary. And of course free speech comes into play. Yes, this is a sticky one and we should all pay attention to the consequences.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
