I thought this nekkid URL was going to be about the
|
|
infringement of 1st amendment rights for broadcasters
|
|
and proposed campaign finanice restrictions preventing them
|
|
from making money on advertisements that are deemed
|
|
thinly veiled campaign contributions by some arbitrary
|
|
government board. As it was posted to "discussion" I
|
|
thought there'd be some.
|
|
|
|
Instead it's a Post-Gazette column by Brian O'Neill
|
|
lamenting the fact that some people know how to
|
|
fill out a permit so that they can take advantage
|
|
of their right to peaceable assembly. Obviously
|
|
he's poking fun at the idea that specific groups
|
|
get specific "zones" and that it's not up to the
|
|
police to decide what messages and signs get put into
|
|
what zones to most expediently keep order.
|
|
|
|
The problem is that politics have gotten so muddied
|
|
nowadays, that shouting down and unpeaceably disrupting
|
|
political rallies that you don't agree with has become
|
|
common practice. The courts have constantly ruled
|
|
that there are some restrictions on the first amendment.
|
|
They teach you that your very first year of law school.
|
|
|
|
I think that given the information as laid out by the story,
|
|
Mr. O'Neill has confused free speech with action. Free
|
|
speech or even protected speech as practiced by almost
|
|
every American seems to involve the ability to communicate
|
|
an idea to an unknown audience. Action involves directing
|
|
a specific comment to a specific well-defined individual or audience
|
|
that has immediate, harmful, and sometimes physical
|
|
effects that is easily forseeable by any reasonable person.
|
|
|
|
I think Bill Neel of Butler needs to go back to school
|
|
as obviously he must have been sleeping in his civics
|
|
class or else they didn't teach civics in mini-guantanamo, OH
|
|
65 years ago.
