Obviously people are entitled to their own opinions. And I’m entitled to say it’s a shit opinion to have. Presuming innocence isn’t required by the public, but we should do it anyway. No one here said we have to presume innocence. But most law-and-order-conservative types who don’t presume innocence are also the type…

If you don’t think the public’s perception and media portrayal of a particular defendant affects his substantive rights in a courtroom, you are wrong.

And Brendan Dassey admitted to murder.

“This guy was running these scams for over a decade”

Man, what a great a story. This is really great work.

If he believes his brand of conservatism is good for anybody but the powerful, he’s an idiot, and if he doesn’t, he’s a fraud.

Fuck this. I’m no Rand Paul voter, but this is bullshit to the max. Paul like actually talked about the Fourth Amendment. This matters to a lot of people—mostly to the poor and underserved whom the police abuse while shitting on the Fourth Amendment constantly.

You want to ban speech? That is a reprehensible idea, even if the content of the speech you want to ban is repugnant.

the “sacred cow” is not specific to hate speech — it’s (almost) all speech. And that’s the point. Speech is good. If you say dumb shit, you get shamed on Deadspin, for example. But everyone is entitled to his own opinion, even if you think it’s a really shitty idea (and I think this fits that characterization).

I feel like we should point out that, despite this guy being a shithead, it’s worse to censor speech like this.

Gronk is the greatest TE of all time?
