A woman from Chesterfield, Virginia was arrested last month and faces a Class 1 misdemeanor that could stick her in jail for a year and result in a $2,500 fine.
The crime? Trading insults with someone online and posting a picture of herself holding a gun.
26-year-old Kristin Holmes got into an argument on Facebook with a woman who had mistaken her for someone else.
MOVE ON TO PAGE 2:
Hmm not a single picture of a person holding a gun in the comments.
So FINALLY we know who to go to for definitions of “free speech”!
B.S. as long as you aren’t threatening anyone they can’t arrest you .
Stupid, all she was doing was warning somebody what would happen if they showed up at her door. Friggin cry babies
There are two things not protected by Free Speech, Threats and Slander. Insults do not fall in either category. If you get your feelings hurt oh well suck it up. But on the other hand the pic is what got her, if during an argument you show a weapon, in person or Yes the internet, even if nothing was spoken, that can be seen as a threat.
Yet death threats at polling places by Democrats black panthers goes unpunished,wow
So stupid to do this to the woman
O please fox and cnb insult each other all the time and most politicians. Let that poor girl go. Good grief…..
Wow. Just wow!
You don’t have the right to be not offended. You do have the right to say what you want.
