Legal or Illegal O'Reilly Factor conflict with First Amendment

[ginikate]

You cannot say just say anything you want. (like FIRE in a crowed theater). Anyone who thinks they can is stupid. This "man" that was arrested put himself in that situation. I know Matt, and he is, at best, a self absorbed slacker. All of his friends are idiots as well - in their 20's still live with their parents, menial jobs, pot smoking, think that they can change the world with their anti-fascist t-shirt idiots. Oh, and Matt Harden also kills family pets. Burn in hell Matt Harden.

We need to know what happened. Freedom of Speed specifically protects offensive expression.

[mba2ceo]

Freedom of Speed = the RIGHT to express dissatisfaction to Police.

I live in Jonesboro and it is "my opinion" <- (legal disclaimer) that we have the most corrupt cops and judges anywhere! These jerkoff's here set the stage for the stereotype hick town cops and judges who are above the law. And yes I said "are above the law" instead of "think they are above the law...because they fucking get away with it every god damn day and there is nothing any of us can do about it!

[hoosieradvisor]

I feel sorry for Jonesboro.

[101deadpuppys]

i have been pulled over by the police atleast 20 times in cuffs atleast 4 times and have never been anything but friendly and respectfull to them because i respect there job.

and have never had to much to complain about them personaly.

but i have seen it many times the police act more like a bully on a school yard then upholders of justice and public saftey.

the cop in this couldnt just shake his head and go on to the next call?

instead he acted like a kid trying to get even

[vvgolfer]

@101deadpuppys thats life man, cant let ignorance get in the way of good judgement

[Evan32Talbot]

no, he gave up his rights of speech once he started slandering/hackling the cops......ppl need to REALLY need the Bill of Rights

[arphaxad1000]

question: still yelling, "if all he said where nice things would the out come be different", would his house still have been searched( remember there was a charge for a weapon)? there is a law recently pass that allows the right of any u.s. citizen to arrested and detained for interrogation for an unspecified amount of time 911 was used to inject domestic terror laws aimed at those who speak out against unlawful actions of the government which rules over them.

[kobenbawest]

oriley & the two dumb broads are trying to make a case out of nothing...she has to go back and dig up a case from 2003. goes to show how petty law enforcement & the courts can be. mean while the bankers are looting our treasury for trillions & they don't have any comment about that.

[hardcorealonso36]

[vvgolfer]

[CarlJ420]

[dadmcafee]

[ckdyer]

[nikkyra13]

oh my gosh some people need brains...this guy obviously wants to go public, so he gets a video camera....have fun being charged...hahahhahah

[vvgolfer]

@nikkyra13 he actually didnt get convicted

[kingborg4343]

Freedom of Speech is guaranteed by the First Amendment. It does not provide the right to defame people and it must be balanced against the national interest. (For example yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.) But it does guarantee the right to speak on issues of public concern. .

[Pbrainers]

i heard abt this

[hiphog]

if the cops are doing their job and someone causes a disturbance affecting the job they are trying to do then that person is breaking the law. Yes you have freedom of speec, but you cant sit in your front yard yelling and acting a fool.

[vvgolfer]

@hiphog obstruction of justice haha yes

[tintlio]

Fox + Cops = Pinheads/Nazi's

[Myuzishin]

@tintlio Thats the second stupidest thing I've ever read. I'm reserving the top slot in case you say something else.

[AlexColby42]

I'm from Jonesboro. The idiot who is arrested in this video was arrested in 2003 for grilling and eating his neighbors dog.

[vvgolfer]

@AlexColby42 i have that in the video description haha isnt that crazy

[carlheringer3]

To bad they didn't mention that the guy yelling at the cops beat a family pet with a shovel and cooked it on the bbq, throwing the dead dogs head into the mayors pool~! If I had that kind of reccord I would want my name and past kept on the low down.

[caseburger]

i love how they keep making reference to his property as if you can say whatever you want only if its on your property. I dont own property so i have no first ammendment rights according to these chicks.

[Myuzishin]

Its America, you have the right to Freedom of speech. You also have the right to yell, "NAZI!' at a cop who's doing his job in a situation you're not involved in. But you do NOT have the right to expect he's gonna take that shit, especially from some ballsy hick who obviously wanted to provoke, and capture on video, some 'incident' with the cops in hopes of suing himself rich. No sympathy here, the dude started it, the cops finished it.

[vvgolfer]

@Myuzishin thats exactly what i think to, i know hes legally protected but this is more of a courtesy issue, he said all that stuff knowing he couldnt get in trouble for it

[beastmode500]

@Myuzishin actually you cannot call an officer of the law anything that may offend them or they can charge you with disorderly conduct. other than that i completely agree.

[SpicyMeatballl]

fuckin power trippin pussy ass cops

[kurt1234567891011]

@SpicyMeatballl your retarded, im sure you would have acted much more noble if that guy was yelling at you. douche

[rnsf1980]

Would he have felt the same way if that was a crack whore driving off with his xbox and tv? This guy is an idiot and I hope bubba taught him a lesson while he was locked up. He had no idea what she was stopped for or her prior record. He just wanted to make a scene and he did. I hope code enforcement hooks him up for his uncut grass every week.

[drnorris56]

the man should not have been arrested
