Christofascist police on bumper sticker |
Cops Put Brakes on Bush Bumper Sticker
Georgia Motorist in Trouble for Rude Sticker
http://www.wltx.com/news/news19.aspx?storyid=36484
(Atlanta, GA) - Americans have a knack for expressing opinions with bumper
stickers, from pride for the military, to pride for a student, to pride for
a university, to pride for a favorite baseball team.
Denise Grier says she was not feeling pride when, last June, she affixed a
sentiment ("I'm Tired of All the Bush--") to her right rear bumper.
"With the performance of Bush, I feel like, you know, he's not done what he
was elected to do. I don't feel like he's telling us the truth, and those
are my personal feelings," Grier said.
Until this past June, it was the only bumper sticker Grier had on her car.
On March 10, she was pulled over by a DeKalb police officer.
"He said, 'do you know why I stopped you?' And I said, 'no I have no idea.'
And he said, 'you have a lewd decal on your car.' And I said, 'I do?' My
first thought was one of my children had put something obscene or filthy on
my car," said Grier.
The officer said the offending bumper sticker violated a law against lewd,
obscene and vulgar vehicle decals.
The American Civil Liberties Union points to action by the Georgia Supreme
Court 15 years ago that overturned that law.
"A law, such as lewd bumper stickers is unenforceable. What's lewd to one
person is not lewd to another. And it allows officers to end up citing
people just because they don't like the views expressed," said Gerry
Webster of the Georgia ACLU.
Despite the furor, Grier says she would do it all over again.
"Each of us has a right to free speech", she said. "And if I don't speak
out for it, who will?"
Grier says she's not an activist, just a nurse who happens to have a court
date in April over a controversial political bumper sticker.

I'm astonished the police officer did not rape then shoot her to death.
Oh, such a crime she committed!
I wonder if she also had dark skin.

I saw the vid, she does not have dark skin. As to rape/shooting,
um.......beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I don't behold her.
She's not ugly, though. A few more beers........
One question: Whenever the full bumper sticker was in view, the last
two letters were blanked. One view showed almost the whole sticker, I
could see "BUSHI" and part of the T. My question is what's the line on
profanity in your opinion?

The current US federal and most state governments are beyond that line,
imo.

I meant to specify publicly displayed profanity. Surely parents don't
want to bring their kids downtown to see it. Like religion, IMHO, we
don't ban it, we simply want it where it belongs, not in everyone's
face. I don't mind profanity one bit, I think it's more useful used
sparingly, because nobody pays attention to someone who's vocabulary
is mostly profane. Like manure and money, it works better when spread
carefully.
It's OK for people to lead a clean life, as long as they don't expect
me to. And I won't bother them.

Yes, but them and reason are diametric opposites.

Rev. Rice, I'd like to ask you to either to contribute to the Bulldada
Newsblog, or start your own blog with regular news links like this one.
You're giving me some serious competition.

The wiki was set up as "login-to-edit" a few months ago, with the
reason for this as protecting the users from having fake edits entered
in under their names. That way, you won't show up there one morning
and find a whole bunch of vandalizing edits made under your name.

Well, I clear my cache and cookie jar every day -- never know when
you're going to be raided by fascists. But I'll try the puppy this
evening and see if maybe I'm just not bright enough to figure it out.
