This. Shaming thots in public is a God given right.

Re: New Zealand - Killer Praised Trump
Yeah, but overly restrictive bylaws can suck my left nut too. It's a stupid bylaw, and it's going to limit speech on top of it, fuck that noise.
Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue. That bylaw is nowhere near Brandenburg v. Ohio, fuck it and the horse it rode in on.

Indictable is the bright line for me. You cause a nuisance and you get a ticket for it; cry me a river.

Re: New Zealand - Killer Praised Trump
Tickets for shouting obscenities are fucking dumb Smitty. So what if it's not the worst thing in the world, it's still not a good idea.
If they shout it too loudly, that would be the only thing worth fining them for, if they are just upset people with their insults, that does not rise to a level that warrants limiting free speech.

Re: New Zealand - Killer Praised Trump
I back the landed gentry on this one.
Self interest.
I don't want people thrown in jail for anything but the most serious crimes.
People who cause a nuisance and get a ticket for it; don't care. Not even a bit.

Re: New Zealand - Killer Praised Trump
Self interest isn't a very compelling argument to limit free speech, maybe that shit sells to others in the landed gentry, but that smells like horseshit to me. Shouting obscenities is not something people should get tickets for, whether you care if they get tickets or not, isn't relevant to whether that is a wise bylaw, or a stupid bylaw.

I am a land owner, and I will be a tyrant with bylaws.
And I make no apologies for it.
If they come after them with indictable offence, federal power, then I would oppose.
City of London? Have at them.
