What a great headline! You finally told the truth about things!
Yes, when you are high on fentanyhl and meth you do exhibit ED. When you are OD'ing on fentanyl you truly cannot breathe. When you way 300 pounds over your base weight, have heard disease, and asthma (Errol Garner) and then you resist arrest? And you can't breathe? Wow. They ED you exhibited was your fault, and always will be. Great headline! Keep up the good work.
Um, what part of Floyd died of a drug overdose don't you understand? He wasn't killed. Content moderation is fascism. It should be outlawed. In a free country it would have been. Like 10 years ago.
It is difficult to comprehend how Tech Dirt would even allow the printing of this hysterical, emotional screed against freedom of speech.
Murder is illegal. It always is and always has been.
I can say I hate your guts every day, every minute, and twice on Sunday. If some dipshit decides to murder you because he read me saying I hate your guts? The dipshit is quilty of murder.
Speech is speech. Murder is murder.
The attempt by idiots like this one who wrote this article to somehow connect free speech with violence should be obvious to the editors of Tech Dirt.
There is no sucha thing as hate speech --The US Supreme Court.
Stop supporting this toxic illogical nonsense. Byrdsong was murdered by a murderer. Free speech is sacrosanct. Stop muddying things with this moronic garbage.
First, G. Floyd was not killed by the police. The autopsy clearly shows cause of death by drug overdose and no damage whatsoever to Floyd's breathing tubes.
Second, journalism is supposed to be an impartial reporting of events. There is no such thing as an activist journalist.
Astounding nonsense coming from Tech Dirt writers who should know better.
There should be powerful and often-used incentives to fire any employee who -attempts to enact policy based on their anti-American values of censorship and PC speech. These employees are extremely detrimental to any business and to any society.
The "other" incentives of these vermin should be crushed: they should never work in any place that can affect American freedoms ever again. That is the only "other" incentive that should result from this type of mob rule evil.
I fail to see why you included the word wacky and QAnon supporting in your headline and in your article.
The "wacky" attorney also supports you sending flowers to your mother on Mother Day. Neither of those have a thing to do with a company--of any kind--violating an NDA.
And by including a disparaging descriptive in your piece and headline you just make yourself look foolish and prejudiced. Impartial journalism forbids the use of adjectives like wacky.
Try just reporting the facts. Stop being so wacky.
"The federal government's response to ongoing demonstrations provoked by a Minnesota police officer's killing of an unarmed Black man has been escalating in recent days..."
Floyd died of a massive drug overdose. The autopsy was clear. The police had nothing to do with his death. The restraint technique is taught to US police all over America. It does not cut off air.
What does cut off air is fentanyl overdosing, which suppresses breathing.
Inane or not at least it's an attempt at taking back the Commons. It's just so odd that you would champion fascism and book burning. Almost as odd as seeing the Dems do their best to support their tech totalitarian masters.
"As was widely expected, the NFL team based in Washington DC, formerly using the "Redskins" as their team name, will be renaming themselves after years of people pointing out that the name is racist"
The name is not racist,never was, and polls taken of indigenous peoples show a large majority don't care a whit about the name Redskins. The name is clearly the opposite of racist as it proudly touts the bravery, nobility and strength of those that have red skin. The league should have never caved in cowardice to this stupidity. American Indians have made it clear: they don't care, they don't want the name changed. This is being pushed by a minuscule minority of triggered infants. And TechDirt bought the whole thing hook line and sinker.
The doctrine of qualified immunity allows law enforcement to function, something you should know since you write hundreds of articles per year about nuisance lawsuits and anti-SLAPP legislation.
Curiously, the thought of Joe Blow, police officer, being sued every time he makes an arrest that the family didn't like or that anyone didn't like or that in hindsight the media thought was wrong afterthefact, doesn't seem to provoke you to understand that your anti-SLAPP stuff is exactly the same as having qualified immunity.
You aren't thinking this through. Cops will stop enforcing the law without it. And who would want to take that job? They'll be sued into oblivion at the first chance.
It is literally flabbergasting that you can shout about anti-SLAPP and then get all mad about qualified immunity. Really amazing the pretzel logic.
"MIT and Harvard are suing to have ICE's latest attack on (legal) foreign visitors to this country blocked."
The only thing that makes these " foreign visitors" legal is their physical attendance at university. If the university does not require physical attendance and instead offers on-line classes? The "foreign visitors" now can return to their countries and attend the university there.
Furthermore, they are not legal unless they physically attend--which is the only reason they needed to be legal in the first place. No need to physically attend? No need to physically be in the United States.
"It's the more intellectual argument against so-called "cancel culture." And, yes, there are examples of people being shut down for expressing their ideas, but it is much less common than people would have you believe. In many cases, what people are complaining about is not that their speech is being shut down, but that they are facing consequences for their speech being ridiculous."
So-called 'cancel culture?' What fantasy world do you hide out at, Mike? People would have you believe? Why depend on people when you can see cancel culture all day and all night of other voices than the progressive and the CEO of YouTube brags about it? Again, what fantasy world do you hide out at, Mike?
The only consequences for ridiculous speech is: no consequences at all. In a free speech society you should know that, Mike. But you apparently live in some fantasy society where people (you maybe?) can judge speech by its degree of ridiculousness.
Tell me, Mike, will you come out of your fantasy world when "they" start judging articles like this one as ridiculous and start cancelling you? Will you wake up even then? No, Mike? Well, I had hopes that something would get to you, but my hopes were never very high.
"Publishing a book that reveals important public information about the President of the United States is the opposite of reprehensible."
Um, no. First, how does one reveal public information? If it's already public then there's nothing to reveal. Second, why would anyone on Earth think or believe that a distant relative of the President of the United States has any information that is important?
No, this is the very definition of reprehensible. it is beyond disgusting. And it's just another liar trying to get a payday.
