Woman from Arkansas gets 6 months in jail for sending "racially charged letter"
-
http://www.arktimes.com/blogs/arkansasblog/2007/12/sentencing_in_maumelle_hate_cr.aspx[^] Because the letter violated the recipients "fair housing" rights. :rolleyes: Who cares about free speech when the feelings of minorities are stake!
Happy birthday baby Jesus! Please don't burn us all in hell forever.
A quote from the letter: "Just a note from ALL your new neighbors in the new neighborhood. This is a white neighborhood and if you have to choose to live in a white neighborhood ACT white not like niggers. Keep your children contained in your house and not hanging out in the street like gangs. You really hurt the property value of the neighborhood. We so appreciate that." Sounds pretty much like hate to me. And the woman plead guilty to the charges. Stuff it Kyle.

Of course, that free speech thingy doesn't apply when minorities might get their feelings hurt. And if these "hate speech" laws were applied to everyone Kamau Kambon[^] would be in jail, not teaching a college class.

No one should get jail time for that. She was expressing her views.
Word, write letters and sh*t yo. It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird. Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Everyone needs believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.

I PLEAD GUILTY to typing this message, and in this message I said NIGGER. Do I get jail time now?

He probably should be. But his crime does not excuse hers.

But do you think she should have been charged in the first place? Political correctness is like a religion, there is no evidence that it is beneficial, and it it's proponents act like offended Muslims whenever a white person is hateful, all while black people like the one in the youtube video I posted a few posts up can get by with saying things much more racist than what she said. Oh, and get out of my thread Joshua, your agreement is the last thing anyone needs.

Wow, you seriously are dumb. To Plead Guilty you have to be charged with a crime. What I was saying is that politically incorrect speech should not be a crime.

She was stupid enough to use the U.S Mail to threaten them (hence charge # 1). She accused them of damaging property values just by their racial composition (hence charge #2). Just for her white trash stupidity she deserved to be charged. And to repeat: the bad acts of others DO NOT EXCUSE this bad act. In no moral code, no system of ethics, nor code of justice do two wrongs cancel each other out.

That statement right there disqualifies you from making any future arguments on this or related subjects. If that statement is true then you deserve to be punished for your stupidity.

I missed the part about threats. Don't you think terroristic threatening would have gotten more than 6 months?

As I understand, it's feds business because she sent it with mail? I haven't read the letter, but the punishment seems disproportionate.

I think there is a fine line between free speech and inciting fear/violence. If the free speech is directed on one person to incite fear then I think that is heinous--but I don't believe in hate crimes. A white family could do the same to another white resident based on religion, sex, sexual orientation etc. Intimidation is intimidation.

Quite simply, Yes. She gave the victims cause to fear for their own safety and freedom by threatening them. That is the line between the freedom to insult people and ending up in jail to protect others. Is it worth 12 months (6 in prison, 6 house arrest)? That is for your laws and your judges to decide.

As a white man, I'm entitled to hold that opinion of that woman, no racism involved. She, and you, are lousy representatives for our common race.
