CONSERVATIVE’S ANTI-JIHAD SUBWAY AD LEADS TO NEW POLICIES: NYC AUTHORITY CAN NOW BAN ADS THAT COULD ‘INCITE OR PROVOKE VIOLENCE’

[MNJohnnie]

Ok, then let file complaints against all the various Leftist pro Obama ads because they might incite violence

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Unconstitutional and SCOTUS would hopefully overturn this practice.

[jeffc]

But they will only do so against ads “hurtful” to Islam. Anything that Christians would consider “mean” will be said to “protected under the First Amendment”. Free speech is now dead in NYC.

Here we go................

or interfere with safe, efficient, and orderly transit operations. . . .

Soon the trains will run as smoothly as they did in Mussolini's day.

[sten]

any images involving the above person can incite me to violent convulsion resulting in projectile vomiting or dry heaving combined with momentary tourette's

it should be banned

[Uncle Miltie]

Sharia has arrived.

If Muslims will be violent (D’oh!) you can’t say it.

First Amendment be damned.

[Never on my watch]

... the MTA reasonably foresees would incite or provoke violence...

So the Metro Transit Authority, bureaucrats who can't make a train run on time or turn a profit, are now the arbiters of what constitutes free speech. I wonder if they will don black robes when they render their verdict?

[Truth29]

So the MTA will ban anything offensive to Islamists and approve attacks on any other religion, and anyone contesting this will have to assemble a pattern over time to prove discriminatory application. It will take time and money to fight the decisions and the attorneys will get rich. Sounds like the usual way to impose de facto censorship.

[Wuli]

so, all one need to do is to claim “the ad caused me to be violent” and by that standard the ad is guilty

were the MTA a private enterprise - it’s not, it’s a government agency - I’d have no problem with them making any advertising rule they want

as a government agency, they must meet the standard that the government cannot abridge freedom of speech, at least not without “just cause” (yelling “fire” in a crowded theater) but, judging in advance how someone might react to an advertisement with violence is always a subjective and political judgement that any U.S. government needs to stay out of

[FlingWingFlyer]

So this means all election campaign posters and signs too? Every time I see an Obama 2012 bumper sticker or sign, I become very “incited” and “provoked”. I don’t suffer fools graciously.

[stanne]

Are they just afraid of the Muslims?

[Dead Corpse]

I feel some violence coming on. If it'll finally get some of these idiotic MSM Left-wing sh*tbags off the air...

"Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander."

[andyk]

Anti-blasphemy laws managed by the Mullah Transportation Authority.

[clintonh8r]

So I guess they’re saying that muzzies have tendencies toward violent reactions.....

[Drill Thrawl]

And the lesson learned is that violence works.

[hattend]

Who would have thought that New York would be the first to fall to Sharia.

I always figured Detroit.

[Red Badger]

I guess that means no Republican campaign ads............
