Guy was rightfully sued for harassment.Far from free speech.
Slippery slope.
McCarty tweeted a picture of bananas captioned, "READY THE TROOPS," and wrote, "OOGA BOOGA," in another tweet directed at her, her suit says.
Not sure the founding fathers had that in mind when they fought for free speech.
She‘s a soldier and is offended by some people she never met in her life? So brave
just another pussy behind a keyboard world is full of them cell phones and internet are good things but how much better off would we be without them
There is no such thing..this is America. Full of nothing but cry babies who need their safe spaces.
Bingo.... more and more even fairly moderate conservative right wing comments are being looked at as hate speech....Now I understand that's not the case here. But I'm sure if it were the otherway... black guy spamming some white dude with BLM, radical liberal shit would not be given a second look.
Dangerous precedent. If someone disagrees with your politics, your stance on immigration and ideology can they use the perception of being harassed as a weaponized method to silence you? When courts get involved in silencing people we crossed the line into fascism.
Many years ago, a black person aggressively called me a "long nosed shit assed whitey." I got over it. Actually, we both did.
So much for freedom of speech.
Has nothing to do with Freedom of Speech. Once you organize people to threaten and harass someone, its a felony offense. Dude was lucky he didnt get any prison time
Slippery slope. I agree a person can't threaten someone with bodily harm but what is harassment? It means different things to different people. Most if not all of getbig could be sued on a daily basis for what goes on here. Much easier if people just stopped being offended by everything.
Yeah, but if today you called that person a big nosed, big lipped n word, per this precedent you could be in big trouble all over hurt feelings. 10 years ago and before people got over things. Now, because everyone is a victim, they don't.
this web site is one big whinge site for victims
