On Wednesday morning, Sheriff Troy E. Nehls of Fort Bend County, Texas, posted a picture of the back of a truck asking members of the community to help him find the ‘offender.’ “I have received numerous calls regarding the offensive display on this truck as it is often seen along FM 359. If you know who owns this truck or it is yours, I would like to discuss it with you,” he said. Nehls apparently already sought to impose punishment, adding, “Our Prosecutor has informed us she would accept Disorderly Conduct charges regarding it, but I feel we could come to an agreement regarding a modification to it.” He also posted a picture in the comments of legal code concerning disorderly conduct, apparently attempting to justify his attempt to suppress free speech by suggesting the truck driver was instigating a breach of the peace. The statute, Sec. 42.01, says “a person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly uses abusive, indecent, profane or vulgar language, and the language by its very utterance tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace,” or if it “makes an offensive gesture of display in a public place, and the gesture or display tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace.” Attempting to cite this statute suggests Trump supporters could be so triggered by free speech about the president they might incite violence, a particularly hilarious notion considering the right has spent months virtue signaling about the first amendment and scolding leftists for being violent snowflakes. And the Internet responded swiftly as thousands of commenters flowed in offering relentless trolling, thoughtful defenses of free speech, and cutting rebukes of partisan hypocrisy. The trolls were numerous: Other commenters were straightforward and to the point, citing previous court decisions and defenses of free speech: Still others tackled partisan hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance: Some commenters defended the sheriff and received immediate responses: A couple pointed out the fact that people actually called the police because they were so offended: The truck driver also received an offer from a lawyer and former prosecutor for free legal assistance: The ACLU of Texas also chimed in: “Sheriff Troy E. Nehls, Constitutional Law 101: You can’t ban speech just because it has ‘f@ck’ in it. “Hey truck owner, feel free to contact the ACLU of Texas.” Delivered by The Daily Sheeple

Protected speech - if you can't help being triggered by a message you disagree with snowflake, then you're the one with the problem. "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". Seems like your view of the First Amendment is that it should only apply to those who share your viewpoint. And F*CK Trump if you voted for him" F*CK Trump if you voted for him" is "FREE SPEECH"?? As well as others?? THAT'S what you consider, "FREE SPEECH"?? What about, "F*CK DECKARD, HIS MOTHER, AND DAUGHTER"?? Is THAT also the type of "Free Speech" you'd "defend to the death for the right for others to say it"?? Man, this is one of yours or anyone else's worst defenses of "Freedom" ever. Those who most loudly denounce Fake News are typically those most aggressively disseminating it.
Like hell. THAT is the interpretation and Fake News of the Leftist Antifa trolls. The ACLU of Texas also chimed in: “Sheriff Troy E. Nehls, Constitutional Law 101: You can’t ban speech just because it has ‘f@ck’ in it. “Hey truck owner, feel free to contact the ACLU of Texas.” Incendiary speech, speech that incites, AND vulgar, obscene speech IN PUBLIC is NOT "protected." But then again, it IS the Leftist-Commie America-hating ACLU, isn't it? Yu and Gatlin finally find common ground. Oh, the irony. Those who most loudly denounce Fake News are typically those most aggressively disseminating it.
Geez, you're actually agreeing with Deckard on this? What IF, a Vehicle is rolling around town with, "F*CK SGT GRAND ISLAND AND HIS MOTHER and Everyone who honors them"?? Tell me the truth -- THAT person is gonna get a beat down, aren't they, sooner or later, aren't they? (And deservedly so.) Those who most loudly denounce Fake News are typically those most aggressively disseminating it.
With ya. Those who most loudly denounce Fake News are typically those most aggressively disseminating it.
You have much in common with Antifa Misterwhite: "I am the violence he's inciting.." Misterwhite is right again. By your rationale and logic, MW's baseball bat across the back windshield is merely also "free speech." Incitement is a criminal offense and a verbal assault in this case. As well as defending the honor of one's wife, mother, daughter, family, friends. Ever hear of the saying, "Them's fighting words"?? What was plastered all over that vehicle was blatant IN YOUR FACE fighting words. The perp not only chose to publicly verbally assault the President, but those who "voted FOR him." Deckard, to what end does this kind of incendiary Antifa baiting and BS end? Nasty, vulgar insults designed to bait and incite can only lead to one conclusion. And THIS is just part of the Left's/Antifa's open season on Trump and those who voted for him. With respect to this case, there are only TWO sides to take. You've chosen poorly. Those who most loudly denounce Fake News are typically those most aggressively disseminating it.
The Supreme Court has ruled that it is protected speech. Sorry that words and ideas that you disagree with trigger you to violence snowflake - how is your response any different than that of Antifa? Would you be as upset if it had said "F**k Obama"? I've seen such sentiments here and I don't recall you ever calling for censorship. The Suprerme court has ruled that political statements are protected speech. Apples and oranges - such a statement is not political. With respect to this case, there are only TWO sides to take. You've chosen poorly. 'Fighting words' laws are made to stop fights, not authorise them. ---- The idea is that law enforcement could stop offensive displays BEFORE a crazy like whitey took a bat to the other crazy person/display. Not that misterwhite has the real balls to take a bat to anything. -- He's an agitprop ringer, a phony.
"F*CK THE DRAFT" is far different than, "F*CK TRUMP," F*CK YOUR MOTHER," or "F*CK TRUMP VOTERS." If you can't see the obvious, I can't help you, the ACLU, or Gilligan. This is just "Common Sense 101."
You're projecting... That said, when someone repeatedly circles the front of your house, shouting with a megaphone, "EFF DECKARD AND HIS MOM.THEY SUCK!", I'm sure you'll "Fight for his right to shout it," right? Cut the crap.
The only one that could even remotely be considered "fighting words" is "F**k your mother" The others have been ruled as protected speech by the Supreme Court. Same thing with flag burning. If you can't see the obvious, I can't help you, the ACLU, or Gilligan. The funny thing is, Gatlin would agree with you on this. How does it feel to be a right wing version of Antifa? No I would not be as upset. BUT I would recognize it as wrong to do it IN PUBLIC while also recognizing the potential baiting/incitement factor. I've seen such sentiments here and I don't recall you ever calling for censorship. Hey brutha -- THIS IS COMMON SENSE that transcends the subversive ACLU's BS definitions. Now tell me -- whatcha gonna do about that car that circles your home with a megaphone, "F*CK Deckard and His Mom!!! They are douches!!"
Once again you fail to distinguish between PROTECTED political speech and "fighting words". You come to my house talking that trash and I'll deal with you harshly. CONTEXT. Public Vulgarities, Obscenities, Incitement, and Pornographic speech and acts are NOT "protected speech." In fact, you can NOT even shout, "NIGGER!!" in public either, can you?? Because...IT'S CONSIDERED, "Hate Speech." NOW WHAT??
You can't have it both ways or all ways.
Who cares what the ACLU thinks? I don't know how many times I have to tell you this before it sinks in to your thick skull - the Supreme Court has ruled that political statements such as "F**k Trump" are PROTECTED speech. Now you can bitch and moan and disagree all you want, but the fact remains. Ok... So what's your opinion on shouting "NIGGER!!" to every black person? Or GROUPS of black people?
You can't have it both ways or all ways. I thought you were smarter than this. In fact, you can NOT even shout, "NIGGER!!" in public either, can you?? Because...IT'S CONSIDERED, "Hate Speech." Supreme Court unanimously reaffirms: There is no ‘hate speech’ exception to the First Amendment How does it feel to be a right wing version of Antifa? No, the funny thing is that YOU cited the ACLU....while Gatlin worships them. More irony -- YOU are the one engaging in Antifa tactics. They bait, and now you support baiting. Hey -- answer the question: You're walking quietly on a street with your girlfriend, wife, or mother, and some guy come up to you and sez, "F*CK YOU and your whore." And keeps on railing against you, repeating his filth. Whatcha gonna do?
Seems to me you're the one triggered by words and ideas you don't agree with and will resort to violence to shut someone up who is exercising his constitutionally protected right to free speech. Saying "F**k Trump" is not the same thing as saying "Kill Trump". Hey -- answer the question: You're walking quietly on a street with your girlfriend, wife, or mother, and some guy come up to you and sez, "F*CK YOU and your whore." And keeps on railing against you, repeating his filth. Why don't you come over here, say it and find out. Once again you fail to grasp even the simplest of concepts. Bullsh*t. People are getting fired for less; "Hate Speech" and "Hate Crimes" are enforced BY LAW. Moreover, the Supreme Court is a corrupt puppet show where killing babies is legal as is men "marrying" men. In ALL these cases -- as well as the "Free Speech" end of they insane spectrum, you are dead wrong IN PRACTICE, legally as well as wrong morally and common sense-wise, 110%. It's sad and degrading that you're even defending the kind of "free speech" that sanctions, "F*CK YOU AND YOUR MOTHER!" in public.
Why don't you come over here, say it and find out. Thanks for proving my point, Rambo. *snicker*
Their business their rules. It's sad and degrading that you're even defending the kind of "free speech" that sanctions, "F*CK YOU AND YOUR MOTHER!" in public. Please don't resort to lying - as I have made it clear, those would be considered "fighting words", not political speech. It's a shame that you don't get that. We're done.
Thanks for proving my point, Rambo. Good grief man, you can't possibly be this dense, can you? You really are unable to distinguish between PROTECTED political speech and "fighting words"? Look - I like you Lib, but you really need to understand the difference between the two. Your career as a rap artist is off to a good start.
Thanks. My next concept for the second verse of my lyrics is, "B*TCH." Wanna co-write it?
Ok... So what's your opinion on shouting "NIGGER!!" to every black person? Or GROUPS of black people? OK, --- we have a crazy shouting "NIGGER!!" to every black person, Or a GROUP of black people, as he goes down the street? Hopefully someone calls 911, and the cops arrive before the crazy gets killed by the blacks. Whereupon, the crazy is put in jail for disturbing the peace. If he's assaulted or killed, those responsible face a jury trial, and will no doubt be acquitted, or given reduced sentences/paroled because of the 'fighting words' doctrine. Is there some problem with that?
Exactly. But Deckard believes that free speech is so sacred that it should be free from consequences. Burn a flag, no consequence. Curse and spit at a cop and he can't do a thing. HE has rights. You don't.
Hopefully someone calls 911, and the cops arrive before the crazy gets killed by the blacks. Whereupon, the crazy is put in jail for disturbing the peace. Ooooh...."Disturbing the peace," eh? But "Eff Trump" and "Eff those who voted for him!" ISN'T?? And....and...But...but...but...."FREE SPEECH!" OH WAIT. Please explain what happened to IT in your anecdotal case where the so-called "crazy" who again -- according to some -- is merely exercising his constitutional "Free Speech"??
Burn a flag, no consequence. Curse and spit at a cop and he can't do a thing. Hear ya. For over 5,000 years, insulting and dishonoring one's mother or wife would be cause for b*tch-slapping and knuckle-sandwiching at the least, challenge to a dual/fight, OR worse. In the "old neighborhood" -- not long ago, EVERYONE would have understood the common sense unspoken rules and laws of society. What is being defended in this case of Donald Trump as well as his voters told to "Eff" themselves, is well over the line of decency and crystal clear incitement to violence. It reeks of Antifa/Alinsky tactics. In a nutshell, we are witnessing a hostile and clear case of Social Anarchy. But only because Trump is President. The MSM has been encoraging the overt public hostility. Now most of us realize that were this language targeting 0bama, the cacophony of howls and outrage from the Left and MSM would be deafening. The perp would likely be arrested. This irrational support of free speech under ALL circumstances is a very new concept. However, it is VERY selective, based on political correctness and those who control the culture's power structure. There seems to be one set of rules for Democrats, Progressives, and Homos/Queers, and one for Republicans, Conservatives, and Christians. The inconsistencies and bias from Democrats, the Judiciary, AND even the Supreme Court in their enforcement of Constitutional Law is conspicuously one-sided. It seems Social Justice crusaders get mulligans, whereas Conservatives are disproportionately penalized.
That nut is probably a Leftist-Antifa agitprop asset. He also forgot his white hood, and "KKK ROCKS!" sign.
Oh the Irony! How are you and paulsen any different than Antifa? The image was from a fictional movie! Is there some problem with that? There IS a problem with normalizing this anti-social anarchy crap and juvenile sociopathic behavior encouraged under the guise of "Free Speech." What we're witnessing is the over-ripened rotten fruit of over a year's worth of Leftist/Anti-MAGA propaganda and indoctrination -- a psyop designed to normalize hostility and violence toward Donald Trump and those who voted for him.
