I'll try and remember and appreciate your position when the peace crowd starts driving a truck around showing the mutilated bodies of American soldiers. That's constitutionally protected, right? Plus, it might have the added benefit of accomplishing their goal of getting the troops out of Iraq. Hooray!
Constitutionally protected speech not withstanding, Operation Rescue operates that truck in defiance of good decorum. It does more harm than good. I may be pro-life, but that truck makes me anti-Operation Rescue.
I don't agree with all of their tactics...
Or all of their gruesome displays...
But I will defend their RIGHTS all day and all night long...
I did see the "dropped case" press release...
Their should be some expensive and punitive action in order to preclude the GCPD from doing this again without penalties..
Fear not....
When the federal lawsuit is served...
The county's liability insurance carrier will grab the ball... settle... and tell the commissioners to insure this never happanes again!
Actually, T.
Some of the tax money you have already paid will now be well spent on the insurance premiums that bring this to closure.
Yes....
the peace crowd's [fictitious] truck would also be protected speech.
I might diasgree or even despise their message and images...
But I would never advocate the taking of their rights to have their say...
If the Operation rescue event happened in my little suburban county...
I would be tearing them a new one for being stupid and allowing the LEO's to abridge these rights...
It's all about the preservation of our rights and way of life!
I hope... that you hope....
Heads should roll before this is finished... up yonder...
Have a good one...
They dropped the case. Does that mean that the DEFENDENTS don’t still need to pay their legal bills?
Nifong dropped his “case” too.
Sometimes God whispers to our hearts in different ways. Sometimes, like for you, it's the quiet touch. But sometimes, for other's of us, it takes a shout, or a slap in the face before we are ready to listen.
