I don't know where you live, but where I am freedom of speech does not cover fighting words or death threats.ZAch055 said:

im in love with that judge though:
yeah! she speaks the truth >=[
Niiiice. I love the way the judge ripped into her as she deserved. Now all we need to do is make trolling an imprisonable offence as well.
You grossly misunderstand how these rights apply in daily life.ZAch055 said:
Firstly, I'm going to knock "freedom of the press" right in the head; the accused had no press affiliation, was not working for any accredited news source, and was not reporting on a story at the time. It just doesn't apply. At all.
Secondly, as mentioned many times by many others, "freedom of speech" doesn't extend to making death threats or threats to inflict harm on someone else. Especially if you have a track record of fulfilling those threats, and have the means to carry them out... but even if you don't mean it, calling up someone on the phone and making threatening statements is indeed a crime.
So no, the accused's rights were not violated by this judgement. She now has some time in a correctional facility to find a better way to manage her childish outbursts, and hopefully a life while she's at it.

So they put a girl in a pseudo-jail for drunkenly typing, but they let off the guy who broke my nose and jaw with a warning?
Life is fair.
Life is fair.
Things like this have a habit of backfiring...
It wont be long before people are sent to jail for making Xbox's owners feel "inferior" on forums.
How long before being a fan-boy becomes a criminal offense? Will this judge still seem "Awesome" when Sony is forced to lower the quality of their product so that microsoft fans don't feel prejudiced against?
LOL stop the insanity!

i don't know because i don't use facebook but isn't there a way to block messages from people... it seems like the ability to block/ignore people would help the problem with "cyber bullying". to be honest i laughed a little bit... now i feel bad.
"Since Emily Moore was 14 you have waged compelling threats and violent abuse towards her ... Bullies are by their nature cowards, in school and society. The evil, odious effects of being bullied stay with you for life ... On this day you did an act of gratuitous nastiness to satisfy your own twisted nature."
I can't stop smiling.
I met enough of these people in high school, and watching one of them go to the slammer for this crap is absolutely heart-warming.
The manner in which the judge described it though is the real clincher. To have those words available to describe the both infantile and nefarious nature of bullies is beautiful!
In the words of a great many posts from the 'Unskippable: Xblades' review...
Yay lion!

wow!
This place has really got great misleading titles. Just like real newspapers!
the person had history of bullying a certain victim. If she had just did this through the internet and not as well in person contact then this would be a first.
