Lady Vols - National Anthem

[Wireless1]

Three little letters N I L, vote with your pocketbook boys. Stipulate that your funds only go to those who stand, there would be a few like CK that would pass on the cash for principle, but all the "look at me's" would have hand on chest.

Yup, after learning this, I’d rather UCONN to win, can’t believe I said that. So disrespectful to still not show respect for the anthem. These so called basketball games, wouldn’t even be possible if it weren’t for those who fought for the freedom and privilege to play college basketball.

Wait, I thought they died to protect our freedom of speech. Which is what sitting/kneeling/staying in the locker room is. Freedom of speech, it’s enumerated right there in the 1st amendment of the Bill of Rights.

Freedom of speech is great until it dares offend someones delicate sensibilities. We just can't have that can we?

And it's cool until I burn a LGBTQXY+ flag. Then it's hate speech, amiright?

So some sensibilities are more 'delicate' than others.

Burn whatever you want. There's little difference between the whining coming from both sides

Right. But burning that flag is considered hate speech. Burning the American flag is considered freedom of expression.

No it's not. It would be protected just the same

It’s every bit as ridiculous as the kids shouting down speaking events.

Where has that happened?

Sounds like that dude committed multiple crimes, at multiple crime scenes.

No doubt. He seemed like a dirtbag.

But what's the headline?

Misleading?

So you found one story from 2 years ago with a bad headline? It's like a crime wave

 

[utvolpj]

Agreed. The ones at the law school should be double charged

I didn't say that.

Burning American Flags is Free Speech; Burning Gay Pride flags is a Hate Crime - RAIR

Burning American Flags is Free Speech; Burning Gay Pride flags is a Hate Crime - RAIR

Not 100 percent analogous in the story but close enough to make a good point.

Burning American Flags is Free Speech; Burning Gay Pride flags is a Hate Crime - RAIR

“Hate Crime” laws are about as useful as that new anti-lynching law.

But it looks like most of those people stole others property, and promptly set it on fire.

 

[85SugarVol]

Agreed. The ones at the law school should be double charged

I’m not following you

Dude was pissed when he found out how many of the strippers were only into girls

 

[Orangeburst]

Such BS with differentiating "hate crimes".
