That
was my point. Thank you.
Of
course we have limitations. I don't think that too many would argue that a college campus, or a shopping mall, is no place to be carrying around a rifle. Now, the freedom of speech thing does go a little further than just scaring the shit out of people in crowded theaters. Just because you have a right to
say something, doesn't mean that I have to provide you with the soapbox upon which to say it.
Look, this kid was, in my best estimation, just looking for attention. So...he
got it. I really don't see a point in him doing what he did. But, he did it. So, as with anything else, there may be some consequences. Deal with them.
And, if newspaper boy is so adament, about getting his word out, then let him fund his very own newspaper. Though I doubt that he's going to garner much revenue, if all he does is print "Tase This. Fuck Bush." Don't they teach
journalism, in journalism school? Or is it all just sensationalism?
Or, maybe I'm wrong and this kid'll become the next Rupert Murdoch. I'm not holding my breath, though.
