Comment Re:Unregulated speech, must stop at all costs! (Score 1) 298

You all seem to be missing the point that he was not forbidden from speaking. Wherever he's hiding out, avoiding his responsibilities to his offspring, he can talk. He can perform. He can annoy passers-by until he reaches the level of public nuisance.

Free speech does not mean that the government must give a platform; it means that they can't remove you once you have found one.

Permits are granted on the expectation that the rules will be followed. If telecasted speech is considered an issue of free speech (which has not been demonstrated), then it is also considered speech such that it violates the terms of the permit. And don't tell me that a permit cannot prohibit free speech. It would have been perfectly legal for the permit to have been denied entirely, thus preventing the speech of every participant, and not just the (c)rapper evading arrest.

I suppose that responding to injustice by cutting your own leg off is a valid response, but don't blame us for thinking that you're just hurting yourself instead of dealing with the issue.

I don't know if (c)rap is the cause or the response to violence, but it certainly reinforces it. It makes it normal and expected. If that's how you want Black people to respond to negative outside influences, you're part of the problem.
