Andrea Dick.

She lives with Mommy in Roselle Park, N.J. and loves to adorn Mommy's home with obscene anti-Biden banners. There's a town oridnance against displaying such obscenity. She's been ordered to take the three big banners that contain obscenity down, or face daily fines. She's appealing the decision.

However:

But Thomas Healy, a law professor at Seton Hall University with expertise in constitutional issues, disagreed.

Citing a 1971 Supreme Court decision, Cohen v. California, that turned on the question of whether the same word at issue in Ms. Dick’s case was obscene, Professor Healy said the word clearly did not qualify as obscene speech in the context of the political banners.

It seems like it may go the other way if its F biden. as the decision says that the slogan on the jacket was not directed at a person. interesting free speech case to back up this prior decision. If its the F your feelings one, she should be good to go, and i agree with the court.

I did a quick search, and after seeing many anti-trump flags of similar construction and number, i did not find many stories about them.

The neighbors across the street fly that F Biden flag. Like I said when they put it up in place of their Trump flag, I see it as progress. At least they live enough in the real world to accept that Trump isn’t president anymore. Now if they would get their outdoor cats fixed, we could probably get along great.

Lol... that's a whole lotta triggered.

Personally, I think she should be able to keep them up. Although I'm sure her neighbors don't appreciate how her temper tantrum is affecting the neighborhood, the best part of free speech IMO is how it allows people to expose their inner shithead for the whole world to see.

Agreed that she should be able to keep the banners on free speech grounds.

Let's just move past the whole "these handful of special words are obscene for totally arbitrary cultural reasons" mentality...

Honestly, fuck is used so much and in so many different contexts now that its been distilled down to the purest explicative in the history of humankind at this point. It barely retains its actual meaning in most contexts now.

"FREE SPEECH" *







* Only when it agrees with my narrative! In that case it becomes hate speech and should be banned!

I have seen zero anti-Trump flags comparable to what Trump idiots waste their money on in any of my travels.
I do not recall any type of market place comparable to what Trump idiots have created in any real world setting.

Generally, the tomfuckery that exists in the mind of people who would spend $$$$ on that sort of bullshit does not seem to exists outside of that cultish community.

Thats probably why you didn't see many "F-Trump flags" stories.
Normal people don't do that sort of thing.
There is no both sides or anything normal about the merchandising shithole that came out of the Trump era

Free speech doesn't mean free from making yourself look like an idiot. I think she should be allowed to keep them up, although using the word fuck is rather obscene to many people, so are pictures of Trump's face.

From the "fucks" being given in this thread, I gather the forum auto-censor is turned off again then?
I'm confused how it seems to become active and inactive at random.

I kind of miss it. I'm tempted to put up a poster declaring 'Boris Johnson is a wise and beautiful woman', just in case a passing AT regular might get it.

Weird how public obscenity is free speech when it serves your narrative, but an outrage when it doesn't. Do you think there's no children in that neighborhood?

Meh, she probably saw the numerous times when dipshit opportunists railed against the many enemies Trump acquired simply from being himself and as a result got jobs given to them by Trump personally because they were so loyal and all, so she's probably hanging that colorful and very loud and proud resume of hers out on the front lawn hoping to get a call from him.

My area is filled with assholes like that with notable ones being the scumbags how have this nonsense at the entrance to an elementary School and the psycho who has his car plastered up and just drives around random residential streets.
Unfortunately, its seems to get worse at houses close to school bus stops where they appear to be trying to get a rise out of all the parents and kids that are out there waiting.

It's all about them (shocker!) being proud of acting like fucktard clowns, and being as loud and confrontational as they can be without leaving the safety of their flagged and plastered homes. They crave the attention because they are otherwise useless, pointless, and worthless in their miserable existences.

They feel the need to leave their mark somehow; hate and division are the easiest things for them to generate and foster through lies, fantasies, and propaganda.
