Title: what happend to freedom of speech?
Post by Pine on 10/11/12 at 08:26:08

So I was looking at my yahoo email and they have links to local news... which lead me to a news article on the local VICE hitting various Adult strip clubs... No real news there.. but I flipped thorugh the photos of dancer and owners listing thier crimes.

Generally it was things like, "showing genatals", improper physical contact... with some sad faced girl. But then there was this.. Some old geeezers face with his crime? "verbal harrassment".

Ok wait... what? who did he harrass.. Vice?? I can only assume. I also assume he was arrested as a form of harrassment so they throw his photo up and thus be a warning to all potential patrons. All in all the "charges" looked very lame and makes the whole story out to what it really is... city hall terrorizing the strip clubs to appease the churches and rally a few votes. I dont have a dog in that hunt ( either way)... but arresting patrons on crappy charges... pisses me off.

I'm just quoting the law but your rights end when they infringe on another persons rights. Its not freedom of speech for me to call you an a$$hole to your face, its harassment. Cursing someone to their face is harrasment and thats the way the law should read. What if we were allowed to say anything to anyone we wanted to, it would be a crude violent world.
