Why not make it impossible for inmates to profit from the sale of stories of their crimes and incarceration? The stories themselves may be important to understanding their psychology, but they shouldn't be rewarded for committing a crime.
You argue till you are blue in the face about the 'rights' of this person or the 'rights' of that person to explain away or hide the true reason behind the real REASON why this issue, the sale of ANE criminal memorabilia, is happening....MONEY! As with many other things in this world Murderabilia and other sites like it have put decency and diminished morals aside all in the name of MONEY!
As a general rule I am opposed to rules that 100% deny prisoners the ability to raise money because it creates a mindset of hopelessness and diminishes a sense of self-worth to the point where the criminal could be more dangerous upon getting out than when they went in. The thought of a millionaire convict is repulsive, but a penniless one is a man without hope, and hope is an instrument of rehabilitation. The devil in the details is what percentage should they be allowed to keep., I say < 10%.
On the face of it to stop criminals from profiting off their crimes after the fact by writing a book or whatever may seem like a good idea. If 90% of the royalty's from a tell all book go to victim compensation, to prohibit the sale would deny the victim or victims family the ability to receive compensation. Confession and repentance should be the ultimate goals of justice and by dissuading the ability to confess and repent in textual form that goal is undermined.
While I haven't yet had a chance to read the entire proposed law, I do commend you on presenting your opinion without resorting to crazy rants or name calling. You presented facts and got me thinking. Might have to watch some more of your videos, because this one was very well done.
@LiberalViewer rights will be extended beyond court proceedings in some manner, specifically the right to be treated with fairness and respect for the victim's dignity and privacy. It would likely have to be rewritten to be more specifically worded/narrow-tailored, but it would be worth it in order to help protect them. In addition, while the law may ban criminals from making money off of their stories, it does not ban them from telling them if they so choose. They just can't profit from it.
@LiberalViewer or restricting obscenity, laws protecting copyrights and patents... there's a pretty decent list of exceptions to free speech, specifically when it begins to infringe on other people's rights. Currently, as far as I know, victims' rights only exist during the court proceedings, but I don't think that's where it should end. The idea that a criminal is allowed to profit off of his crime is sickening to me, and I don't think it should be allowed. I hope that in the future, victims'
@LiberalViewer As for the part about whether or not courts coddle criminals... That's a matter up for debate, but I personally believe they do to an extent, at least in this case. It's a question of balance, and that's why I believe this is a good law despite the Supreme Court's past ruling. Yes, criminals have a right to free speech, but even that has limits, specifically when it starts to infringe on the rights of other people. For example, defamation laws, laws against child pornography,
@LiberalViewer of murderabilia entails in a real-world perspective. As for the ambiguity they presented with regards to the legal challenges, they misrepresented that. But at the same time, there is the possibility that that ruling could be overturned in the future by a different set of justices on the Supreme Court (as was Plessy v Ferguson, and as some have suggested for the ruling on abortion, Roe v Wade). A lot of it has to do with the current social paradigm and who is in power.
@LiberalViewer Okay, I take back a little bit of what I said, I could see a potential motive in attempting to drum up more support for the law (it had yet to be passed at the time). But it should also be mentioned that while Fox doesn't emphasize the scope of the law, the man explaining the legislation in the middle of your video does accurately explain the scope of the law. As for the hate crime stuff, it may not fall under the purview of the bill, but it does help convey just what the selling
@LiberalViewer It's true that Fox doesn't provide a perfect representation of the facts in this case, they do make mistakes when they are explaining the scope of the law, but the whole headline issue you were talking about... there's really not enough space there to adequately explain the intricacies of the situation. And this actually may have been an honest mistake, a misreading of the last section of the bill, cause I can't see what the motive behind intentionally misleading us would be here.
(continued from previous comment) if the criminal exercises their free speech in this manner, they are infringing on the victim's own rights. They continue to benefit from what they did, their victim is still unwillingly helping them and bringing them pleasure (being an object of their story for which they are being paid,) and victimization continues in that way. If a victim of a crime agreed to allow it, that would be a different matter, but here I just don't think it's acceptable.
(continued from my previous comment) In addition to those factors, we outlaw child pornography because, while the person who committed the crime may have a right to free speech, the victims of the crime have rights, as well - including their right to privacy, and right not to be an object of profit for the person who victimized him.
I think the same principle applies here. There is a question of free speech, yes, but in a case like this, if the criminal exercises (continued)
I oppose the profit of crime stories - at least, crimes such as murder and rape - for the same reason I oppose child pornography. (Before I continue, allow me to clarify that I'm not implying that people who disagree with me would be okay with child pornography.)
We don't simply outlaw child pornography because child molestation is illegal, nor because of its psychological effects on those who watch it - if that alone were the case, we would outlaw fictional portrayals of it as well. (continued)
I think the law is a good idea, but it has to be a little more focused as to what it means by 'murderabilia'. It's never a good idea to stifle anyone's speech at any time for any reason. If a convict can write a book and then get a publisher to pick it up, maybe that's because the story needs to be told.
The law doesn't just tell them what they can say, it tells you what you can hear. Do you like having what you're allowed to know restricted by the government because of other people's crimes?
interesting if i had to guess they dont like the fact that there is a trace of murders sanity kinda so by making the public believe thats the law i could only see that helping them in 1 of 2 ways either 1 they want to make the law more to there liking by making the public think the law means what they say it does or 2 to cause a conflict among the sales of murders stuff possibly making them more expensive hard to say exactly who knows though thats just my personal opinion
@tnekkc ummm..........what? liberalism is a faith based on religion? thats sort of like saying thats a faith based on a faith or a religion based on a religion. and last time i checked being liberal was not the same or even comparable to being, for example, christian or buddhist. they are two completely different things. thats where that whole separation of church and state comes in to play.
@DarklingX In my eyes it destroys anyone's credibility as soon as they start throwing the "Nazi" references around. If I had a bit of advice for the liberal viewer it would be ... Everyone that disagrees with you is not a "Nazi"
I think its disgusting. I think fox news did not report the whole story but still i don't think criminals should be able to profit off of their crimes. Murders deprive people of their rights to life and we should deprive them of their rights.
@spicychickenwing31 I would be surprised cause i dont have cable, so i dont get fox news. But I wouldn't be surprised every time you hear Obama talk, you get really hard and premature ejaculate
@TheCrayonMan529 I would be surprised too, since he has only provided so many broken promises and watered down reforms due to him handing his ass to the other side. So I never did raise my hopes up with this guy. Politicians are politicians.
Should I sell my collection of pickled penises before I get apprehended?
Seriously though, I can see some Constitutional issues in regard to this law. You cited the First Amendment issue. There is also the conflict with Interstate Commerce. What happens if the inmate has designated that the proceeds go to a worthy charity or to victims of the crime?
well if the problem here is the right to free speech then why is that even in question? why not just add the right to "sell your story" to the law? you make it sound as if the enter law is bad when it's spirit is aimed at trying to keep criminals from mailing things to their victims, which i can respect.
Who really even cares about "murderabilia" anyway? Only small minded individuals like Fox News viewers who get a fire in their pants over loaded stories like this, a people so dumb that they don't even realize how blatantly hypocritical it is to espouse personal liberties while simultaneously attempting to take them from someone else. Fuck those people. It's a shame that the "party of Lincoln" has allowed itself to become this, a safe haven for racists, zealots and xenophobes.
Both Fox and MSNBC serve their purpose... Fox is doing everything in its journalistic powers to check the power of an expanding government... while, when the Republicans governed poorly MSNBC and pretty much every other Network was there to expose the what the Government had done. It is a good thing to have different news networks with differing biases checking those they disagree with- it keeps all parties sort-of honest. If your gonna call out fox u must then call out MSNBC b/c they r the same
At least Fox has a biased towards market economics and free choice for individuals. I agree, it is clear that Fox has an obvious biased towards business, free markets and Republicans. While MSNBC has a clear biased towards Democrats, the Government always being the only solution to another manufactured "crisis" and a clear biased towards collective choice and not towards individual choice. They both suck and no one should watch either... but if you forced me to choose 1 of the 2, I’d watch Fox
Clearly there are dozens of biased networks one way or the other. It appears that you only mistrust news and information from Fox news. Why not "equally distribute" your journalistic skepticism to all networks? Perhaps you have a bit of a biased yourself... Certainly I would not suggest that Fox is, in any way, objective news to be trusted but MSNBC is perhaps worse in its transparent attempts to advance a "collectivist" agenda of central control and central planning -next-
@BradLauber How many conservatives do you see condemning Fox News? You say it's okay for there to be two biased networks, yet a YouTube user can't focus on just one? If you think MSNBC is as bad as Fox News then you have been severely mislead. Do I get information from MSNBC or CNN? Hell the fuck no! If I did I might be as dumb as you. All cable news channels are intellectually lazy and dumbed down into oblivion, yet only FNC appears slyly malicious in it's content.
@frymastermeat If I’m "dumb" then what does that make you? B/c you cannot even comprehend the English language? I said that a diversity of opinion in our news networks is a good thing. If you think MSNBC is any better, worse or different than fox news, you don’t get my point at all. Obviously @liberalviewer has made his mind up about everything he encounters even before he encounters it... challenging closed minded hacks like him is simply encouraging a diversity of opinion; you find none here

I love when people talk about how liberal professors greatly outnumber conservative ones and try to make it sound like a conspiracy. It's like complaining that the fact that most biologists are atheists is an atheist conspiracy (which I'm sure some idiot has said). Have you ever thought that maybe an education makes you smarter? No? I guess you'd have to have one to understand. Find one instance where a qualified professor was turned away from a job for being a conservative and we'll talk.
Well clearly Fox is biased and quite willing to omit important facts in their "news" coverage. Main problem is much of American news is biased and more factually "news-o-tainment" spending countless hours on some celebrity drunk driving and nothing on.. oh I don't know... the current wars! In fact watching stuff on BBC world news reports way more actual news like Israel / Palestine problems and they actually show Israeli troops throwing Palestinians out of their homes. You do not see that here
Fox is slanting the news towards the right no doubt about it. I dont think it is a bad law, it stops curbs down on copycat criminals. Convicted criminals have a constitutional right to their natural rights. They still have their first amendment and may use it as often much as they wish. In an open society like the U.S what if the criminal wishes to voice his opinion on his sentence, it is his right to do so.
so, since you seem to enjoy bashing fox news, which i also beleive as a republican has a fair amount of crap, i just wanna ask you a question. just exactly HOW many jobs did obama "save"(HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW IF YOU SAVED A JOB) in so called district 17 or whatever it was, which i live in south carolina and know that he called out a completely phony school district saying that he saved jobs there.
Well you know, the people who actually LIKE Fox News don;t like to make "informed" decisions; they want like-minded people to do the thinking for them. They want to stay in their comfort bubble & blame all their worries on scapegoats & believe that all problems are caused by a single source.
@LikaLaruku Brav-o. Bravo-o. (Sarcastically claps) In a close race among fellow comment posters, you have narrowed out the competition and will now be awarded today's most pretigious award: "The Most Ignorant Comment".
I'm sure you would like to take a few moments to thank your parents and public schooling for helping you acheive this.
You act like only fox news is biased. I seem to remember all of the media except fox news praising obama and making sarah palin look like a clown during the elections.
Msnbc and cnn are just as biased as fox news, its just that fox news gets more heat for it because the media is controlled by liberals.
@andrewm153351 Obama didn't say anything stupid. Biden had a couple of gaffes, which were reported, but nothing on the order of Pailn.
The reason why her daughter's pregnancy mattered was that Palin believes in abstinence-only sex ed and it obviously didn't work too well for her own family. Also, she had announced that they were choosing to keep the baby, yet she believes in taking that choice away from other women.
@andrewm153351 Palin's daughter having a child IS news because Palin herself is so against premarital sex, yet her own family isn't following her moral guidelines.
@andrewm153351 Believe what you want, Fox news has brainwashed you into thinking centrism is liberal bias. While MSNBC has several liberal hosts, Fox's employ's nothing but conservative hosts. People like Combs have been fired to remove any hint of even weak liberals from the channel. Replaced with people STRAIGHT out of the republican party, like Huckabee, Palin, and Napolitano. Fox markets it's brand of Conservative bias as fair and balanced, making centrism look far left by comparison.
its a shame most of your viewers tend to be people who agree with you. Though you get self satisfaction, the side that needs to peel back the film over their eyes ignore your obvious credibility considering you know/research more information about the reports on fox news than fox news does on their own reports.
Fuck the victims, people should be able to sell and distribute whatever they want as long as it doesn't conflict with any law not related to "murderabilia"
what a crock of shit. I'm tired of insensitive jack asses. This bill just goes to show the pussifacation of america is only getting worse.
Fox did not say the law gives the victims "any right to stop the sale of murderabilia". The anchor said: "While conceivably a third party could go and obtain some murderablilia on his own and then sell it, the bill Makes It Easier for victims' families to obtain an injunction in court to stop the sale of such items".
1st, he acknowledges your whole point that 3rd parties are allowed to sell murderabilia; and 2nd, he said "Makes it Easier" not "The right to do so".
@candidskeptic How does the bill have any influence the ability of victims' families to stop third parties from selling murderabilia? Since it doesn't, the statement is misleading.
you should research a little more before you try as hard as you can to make other people look bad.
people should calm down about fox news. Fox news is at times biased, that much is clear to anyone who watches it. However, Fox news does not lie about anything. Fox news gives news from the right; a breath of fresh air to any rational person constantly being bombarded by liberal garbage from CNN. I'm not a republican, and I don't hate fox news. watching these ignorant, uneducated videos gets old.
you hve the nerve to call fox news right wing propaganda but dont even think about the fact that nbc cnn msnbc are left wing propaganda...if you are going to insult one insult them both they both lie and faovr one side you dont have the balls to message me and try to prove me wrong (because you cant) so im going to post this on every video you make until you do you liberal coward
@KazGar941 you must be the only dim witted person on here . if u taken the time and read u would have seen that i have given a true fact about fox & there lies. but u are brought into the rightwing kool aide. i have given an example about how fox lies about them being at the million man march back in 1995. fox didn't start there network until 1996. that proved that fox was no way near the million march. but fox news never have corrected themselves. The Young Turks have done a story on it !
Yes Fox News was misleading in their story once again, but did you really expect them to change. Nothing in that country ever seems to change for the better recently. What makes it worse is that its spreading to the rest of the world.
"Convinced that Courts Coddle Convicted Criminals"? That's too much alliteration for a Saturday afternoon. :)
But the Right was full-bored against "hate crimes legislation" from the get-go (because they knew it would affect their supporters the most), so this latest attempt to smear the legislation should come as no surprise.
@boonw its the most watched new in america...ya fox is wrong...they are wrong on the things they said would happen...but wait those things did happen...they are wrong when they say this administation wont fix anything...wait but didnt the VP say we need too spend our way out of debt...huh tell me where are they wrong
@unelmitchell nice reply whats wrong no proof to support your accusations so you slander and make jokes...you are a typical half-wit with nothing logical to say so until you do get bent
This is your reasoning: "fox news got some things right. This means they get all things right." Its not hard to see whats wrong with this when you apply it to other news stations. I can point out plenty of times fox has dishonestly lied (ie: the smear against amsterdam), and others they have been plain stupid (other news stations didnt cover the tea party protests). Using your logic I can aslo conclude that they are 100% wrong.
@boonw no news gets all things right...and no matter how much you try and deny it fox and its reporters have said many things that have come to pass open your ears and eyes and shut your mouth and you might see it too
i think they should be allowed to sell "murderbilia" and every dime should go to the victims if no victims a fund for victims its a win win creepy ppl get there creepy fix and the money gets allotted to the victims
Convicted criminals should have the right to tell their side of the story not to sell it. They shouldn't be aloud to profit from their crime. I also believe they should stop third parties from selling murderabilia. Well that's my opinion.
it's very sad that fox always mislead there viewers with lies. they have even lied & have said that they was at the million man march. But Cenk from ,The Young Turks have proved them wrong. because Fox didn't start there Fox network until 1996. the Million man March was in 1995.they even have said that the tea party was much larger then the Million Man March, the Million Man March didn't have a million men. both cases was lies from Fox, the list can go on and on with fox lies ! It's not news !
Breaking news... It has been reported today that the last administration re-wrote the constitution to, quote: "more accurately reflect the true state of citizens' rights." It now begins: "We the sheeple..."
I am here to thank you for supporting Fox News and reading my many newspapers. The American dream has come true for me. As a foreigner I have been able to make billions of dollars off of generally dull , gullible and unstable people. Please never give up your lack of critical thinking skills and please continue to watch my biased news reporting.
All network news programs and many local stations use misleading graphics in their reports. It is also not surprising to hear them misquote or out and out twist facts to suit their stories. Fox News is just the most obvious and has made their reputation (and huge ratings) by doing this more than most.
I feel it is a good law, but that's because I have a heavy bias against criminals. I can't help but feel that a person in prison for a violent crime deserves few rights. I don't have a problem with that criminal sharing their story, but they should not get to profit from it. As I see it, that's almost a reward for committing the crime in the first place.
@Quouar I agree with you wholeheartedly; a convicted felon should not profit from his or her crime. Whose responsibility is that, though? The citizens purchasing books and "murderabilia" the proceeds of which would go to the criminal, or the government to take people's fundamental rights when they commit a crime?
When it becomes a crime to dissent against the government and you are convicted, you would no longer have the right to tell your story. Giving away rights is a slippery slope.
The problem, of course, is that the large number of Fox news viewers vote or take other actions based on the lies and false or misleading information presented on their "straight" news programs.
When Fox lies (as it apparently does with extraordinary frequency) it affects everyone -- not just their viewers.
Videos like this provide an important public service.
Americans have the the right to watch whatever they want. It's none of our business? haha I think the only person failing is yourself.
Calling the public option Obamacare only exemplifies your ignorance and propaganda devouring mentality. You're entirely unAmerican and more fascist.....Go troll somewhere else Mussolini.
@robinhoodOO7 i agree with you that frictionRx5 should go and troll somewhere with that rightwinger unAmerican propaganda. he is more like a Hilter then a Mussolini.
yeah fox news isnt targetted at us libs. its not our business to get fooled by a corporate mouth piece on a daily basis designed to rally up ur emotions like barbaric cavemen grunting angry buzzwords as a means of venting that ur 'american' dream is in such shambles thanks to the very corporations that u follow blindly
This is tricky, glad I am up in Canada. But if such a law was to be proposed up here; while serving a sentence they should hold a right to be heard. So the selling their story is kept but Murderabilia sale restricted until their sentences is finish. After they are done their time they can sell all the clippings & hair pieces they want.
You are either a complete dumbass or a liar. Here's why:
The law say, as you clearly show, "An inmate who knowingly CAUSES to be delivered by mail..." so your argument about an inmate having to mail something from jail is a false argument or an idiotic one. The "CAUSES" part would be up for DEBATE amongst lawyers.
Sure you can fool a bunch of other idiot libs, but how hard is that really?
That being said, it's a bad law but doesn't restrict people's SPEECH, just their ability to profit from it.
@RTistAngel just seeking some clarification, you think it's a bad law because it restricts one's ability to profit from their right to free speech? if not, then why do you think it is a bad law?
Yes. That is why it is a bad law, because it restricts a persons ability to profit from FREE SPEECH. What I think they SHOULD do, is make a law that criminals have to pay reparations to their victims or re-pay a debt to society if they profit off of the free speech that is related to their crime. Like a fine/penalty/or tax.
I know that is too nuanced and complex for Libs to follow.
Hey Libs, please ask a Conservative who is fluent in "Lib" to explain it to you.
@TheJapanChannelDcom Lots of them, apparently. I've seen people interviewed at Tea Bag rallies and the like, and they swear by Fox. I also heard people say it's the only news channel they trust.
Personally, I feel bad for the interns on The Daily Show - they have to watch Fox all the time, and annotate items for the show. I think this borders on cruel and unusual punishment. :)
Everytime I see ANYTHING from FOX News, my head wants to exploade. And thats why I never NEVER watch ANY news channels!! There all about Fear and LIES just to keep the meek people watching and believing them. Anything from FOX news should be listed in the comedy section here on Youtube.
@hystricomorpha even people who are later found to be innocent? you cant retroactively give rights back. the few things that anyone convicted should not have taken away by the people, are their inalienable rights. rights such as speech, and right to life, not being raped, etc. just because they're in jail, there are things they need granted to them, such as not being stabbed or raped :P
@Neeboopsh I think your right. I don't think they should be able to engage in business for profit. Thats all i was inadequatly saying. Of coarse at then end of the day I dont give a rats poo tube LOL
Brother, you need to have your own show. Too bad ABC, NBC, CBS, and even FOX, (big shock) is too chicken Sh!t to do it. Get in contact with John Stewert , I'm sure he would love you. We have the Colbert Report, we need you. Either way Liberal Brother, we love you and keep it up.
FOX is geared towards people with the intellect of 3rd graders. They just get funnier and funnier everyday. I sometimes watch their morning show for comic relief. LOL
I dont get it, why do I care about this? People being heinous isnt new, neither, as I understand it, is Fox news complete lack of understanding when it comes to anything legal in nature.
Meh - seems unimportant to me. It's not like fox is a threat to this particular justice issue. Their bias isnt going to change the law - perhaps the random viewers expectations of it - but expectations of law have very little consequence on law itself.
I mean, in America the penalty for Murder is Death, which means if a prisoner does make money, where's yhe gonna spend it? Maybe his family will get it, so I fail to see the downside in that.
In Australia the penalty is Life, and Chopper Reid was able to sell a very disturbing children's book. Even the people working at the bookstore near my house felt odd about that, but anyone who wants it has that right. It was NOT in the kid's section though
It doesn't stop them from selling things - it basically stops them from mailing anything at all. Anything MIGHT be sold, therefore nothing can be mailed. So someone wrongly convicted would essentially be denied any chance at attempting to prove they are innocent. It's the worst law ever suggested.
As much as I loathe what some people do in the wake of tragic situations, the law seems to be geared towards silencing people, which is a violation of our Constitution. There are plenty of innocent people who have been wrongly convicted of crimes, and need to tell their story.
There are places around the world that are ONLY famous because a bunch of people died there, they're tourist traps now. Port Arthur, Tazmania, for example.
Also, people have been buying El Che and Charles Manson T-Shirts since before I was born.
Eh, happens all the time. Dr. Seuss demanded and got an apology from the anti-abortion loby for claiming that he supported their cause because of "Horton Hear a Who". Doesn't stop modern anti-abortion advocates from useing the line "A person's a person no matter how small".
Racist Australian politician Pauline Hanson once used the song "we are Australian" even though the song was actually a celebration of multiculturalism.
Fox News misleads about nearly everything. These criminals should be punished but they are citizens like everyone else and thus their rights should not be infringed.
I love how they say Mary Kay Letourneau was convicted "of raping her teenage male student", like without mentioning that her and her teenage male student are now happily married.
Without anything coming out of jail from these psychos, the Sale of Murderabilia will soon die. No pun intended.

As a general rule I am opposed to rules that 100% deny prisoners the ability to raise money because it creates a mindset of hopelessness and diminishes a sense of self-worth to the point where the criminal could be more dangerous upon getting out than when they went in. The thought of a millionaire convict is repulsive, but a penniless one is a man without hope, and hope is an instrument of rehabilitation. The devil in the details is what percentage should they be allowed to keep., I say < 10%.

On the face of it to stop criminals from profiting off their crimes after the fact by writing a book or whatever may seem like a good idea. If 90% of the royalty's from a tell all book go to victim compensation, to prohibit the sale would deny the victim or victims family the ability to receive compensation. Confession and repentance should be the ultimate goals of justice and by dissuading the ability to confess and repent in textual form that goal is undermined.

But at the same time, there is the possibility that that ruling could be overturned in the future by a different set of justices on the Supreme Court (as was Plessy v Ferguson, and as some have suggested for the ruling on abortion, Roe v Wade).

As for the hate crime stuff, it may not fall under the purview of the bill, but it does help convey just what the selling

@LiberalViewer It's true that Fox doesn't provide a perfect representation of the facts in this case, they do make mistakes when they are explaining the scope of the law, but the whole headline issue you were talking about... there's really not enough space there to adequately explain the intricacies of the situation. And this actually may have been an honest mistake, a misreading of the last section of the bill, cause I can't see what the motive behind intentionally misleading us would be here.

(continued from previous comment) if the criminal exercises their free speech in this manner, they are infringing on the victim's own rights. They continue to benefit from what they did, their victim is still unwillingly helping them and bringing them pleasure (being an object of their story for which they are being paid,) and victimization continues in that way. If a victim of a crime agreed to allow it, that would be a different matter, but here I just don't think it's acceptable.

(continued from my previous comment) In addition to those factors, we outlaw child pornography because, while the person who committed the crime may have a right to free speech, the victims of the crime have rights, as well - including their right to privacy, and right not to be an object of profit for the person who victimized him.
I think the same principle applies here. There is a question of free speech, yes, but in a case like this, if the criminal exercises (continued)

I oppose the profit of crime stories - at least, crimes such as murder and rape - for the same reason I oppose child pornography. (Before I continue, allow me to clarify that I'm not implying that people who disagree with me would be okay with child pornography.)
We don't simply outlaw child pornography because child molestation is illegal, nor because of its psychological effects on those who watch it - if that alone were the case, we would outlaw fictional portrayals of it as well. (continued)

I think the law is a good idea, but it has to be a little more focused as to what it means by 'murderabilia'. It's never a good idea to stifle anyone's speech at any time for any reason. If a convict can write a book and then get a publisher to pick it up, maybe that's because the story needs to be told.
The law doesn't just tell them what they can say, it tells you what you can hear. Do you like having what you're allowed to know restricted by the government because of other people's crimes?

Fox is slanting the news towards the right no doubt about it. I dont think it is a bad law, it stops curbs down on copycat criminals. Convicted criminals have a constitutional right to their natural rights. They still have their first amendment and may use it as often much as they wish. In an open society like the U.S what if the criminal wishes to voice his opinion on his sentence, it is his right to do so.

@andrewm153351 Obama didn't say anything stupid. Biden had a couple of gaffes, which were reported, but nothing on the order of Pailn.
The reason why her daughter's pregnancy mattered was that Palin believes in abstinence-only sex ed and it obviously didn't work too well for her own family. Also, she had announced that they were choosing to keep the baby, yet she believes in taking that choice away from other women.

@Quouar I agree with you wholeheartedly; a convicted felon should not profit from his or her crime. Whose responsibility is that, though? The citizens purchasing books and "murderabilia" the proceeds of which would go to the criminal, or the government to take people's fundamental rights when they commit a crime?
When it becomes a crime to dissent against the government and you are convicted, you would no longer have the right to tell your story. Giving away rights is a slippery slope.

You are either a complete dumbass or a liar. Here's why:
The law say, as you clearly show, "An inmate who knowingly CAUSES to be delivered by mail..." so your argument about an inmate having to mail something from jail is a false argument or an idiotic one. The "CAUSES" part would be up for DEBATE amongst lawyers.
Sure you can fool a bunch of other idiot libs, but how hard is that really?
That being said, it's a bad law but doesn't restrict people's SPEECH, just their ability to profit from it.

@RTistAngel just seeking some clarification, you think it's a bad law because it restricts one's ability to profit from their right to free speech? if not, then why do you think it is a bad law?

@dantube54
Yes. That is why it is a bad law, because it restricts a persons ability to profit from FREE SPEECH. What I think they SHOULD do, is make a law that criminals have to pay reparations to their victims or re-pay a debt to society if they profit off of the free speech that is related to their crime. Like a fine/penalty/or tax.
I know that is too nuanced and complex for Libs to follow.
Hey Libs, please ask a Conservative who is fluent in "Lib" to explain it to you.

So how many Americans watch Fox crap and believe it?
TheJapanChannelDcom 1 year ago
@TheJapanChannelDcom less than 1% watch Fox News.
sheenami 1 year ago
@TheJapanChannelDcom Lots of them, apparently. I've seen people interviewed at Tea Bag rallies and the like, and they swear by Fox. I also heard people say it's the only news channel they trust.
Personally, I feel bad for the interns on The Daily Show - they have to watch Fox all the time, and annotate items for the show. I think this borders on cruel and unusual punishment. :)

Everytime I see ANYTHING from FOX News, my head wants to exploade. And thats why I never NEVER watch ANY news channels!! There all about Fear and LIES just to keep the meek people watching and believing them. Anything from FOX news should be listed in the comedy section here on Youtube.

I really don't care. The prisoners should have no rights at all. They should have no voice or constitution.
hystricomorpha 1 year ago
@hystricomorpha even people who are later found to be innocent? you cant retroactively give rights back. the few things that anyone convicted should not have taken away by the people, are their inalienable rights. rights such as speech, and right to life, not being raped, etc. just because they're in jail, there are things they need granted to them, such as not being stabbed or raped :P

@Neeboopsh I think your right. I don't think they should be able to engage in business for profit. Thats all i was inadequatly saying. Of coarse at then end of the day I dont give a rats poo tube LOL

Brother, you need to have your own show. Too bad ABC, NBC, CBS, and even FOX, (big shock) is too chicken Sh!t to do it. Get in contact with John Stewert , I'm sure he would love you. We have the Colbert Report, we need you. Either way Liberal Brother, we love you and keep it up.

FOX is geared towards people with the intellect of 3rd graders. They just get funnier and funnier everyday. I sometimes watch their morning show for comic relief. LOL

I dont get it, why do I care about this? People being heinous isnt new, neither, as I understand it, is Fox news complete lack of understanding when it comes to anything legal in nature.
Meh - seems unimportant to me. It's not like fox is a threat to this particular justice issue. Their bias isnt going to change the law - perhaps the random viewers expectations of it - but expectations of law have very little consequence on law itself.
Or so I think.

I fail to see the point in the law.
I mean, in America the penalty for Murder is Death, which means if a prisoner does make money, where's yhe gonna spend it? Maybe his family will get it, so I fail to see the downside in that.
In Australia the penalty is Life, and Chopper Reid was able to sell a very disturbing children's book. Even the people working at the bookstore near my house felt odd about that, but anyone who wants it has that right. It was NOT in the kid's section though
dechha1981 1 year ago
@dechha1981 No, the penalty for murder is NOT death.
It is in some states - not others. And not always even in the states where it can be applied is it pursued.
Law is not, nor has it ever been an "If -> then" equation.
It's not "if this is done, then this is the punishment." No two crimes are the same.

It doesn't stop them from selling things - it basically stops them from mailing anything at all. Anything MIGHT be sold, therefore nothing can be mailed. So someone wrongly convicted would essentially be denied any chance at attempting to prove they are innocent. It's the worst law ever suggested.

As much as I loathe what some people do in the wake of tragic situations, the law seems to be geared towards silencing people, which is a violation of our Constitution. There are plenty of innocent people who have been wrongly convicted of crimes, and need to tell their story.

There are places around the world that are ONLY famous because a bunch of people died there, they're tourist traps now. Port Arthur, Tazmania, for example.
Also, people have been buying El Che and Charles Manson T-Shirts since before I was born.

Eh, happens all the time. Dr. Seuss demanded and got an apology from the anti-abortion loby for claiming that he supported their cause because of "Horton Hear a Who". Doesn't stop modern anti-abortion advocates from useing the line "A person's a person no matter how small".
Racist Australian politician Pauline Hanson once used the song "we are Australian" even though the song was actually a celebration of multiculturalism.

Fox News misleads about nearly everything. These criminals should be punished but they are citizens like everyone else and thus their rights should not be infringed.

I love how they say Mary Kay Letourneau was convicted "of raping her teenage male student", like without mentioning that her and her teenage male student are now happily married.
