I find it very offensive that a person is being allowed to have large signs with obscenities posted on them in a public place. There is one guy who sits around the cotswald randolph road intersection who is doing this. Why do we and our children have to see these signs with the"F" word on them. ?
We have a guy in my town near Charlotte that has a truck with offensive signs on it, he's also one of those screaming street preachers that tells everyone they're going to hell at every one of our town events.
Mental health in NC is privatized, meaning someone makes a profit before providing services.. Agencies keep tax payer money in the bank while people go without services.
Why do we and our children have to see these signs with the"F" word on them. ?
Because the Constitution protects them and the Supreme Court ruled that in the 1971 case Cohen vs. California. Cohen had worn a jacket with the term "F* the draft" into a court room. Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan II famously said, "one man’s vulgarity is another man’s lyric" when the Supreme Court over-turned Cohen's conviction.
But this guy has been pearching right across the street from our local Chick-f la. My God this the Cotswold area not some place across town...gez
The street is a public place. The Constitutional freedom applies on the street and in the vicinity of a Chick-fil-A as well. Now if he goes on the property of the Chick-fil-A, they are within their rights to kick him off. There isn't some buffer rule that the Constitution is canceled within 500 feet of a Chick-fil-A's property line.
Just keep boiling that frog, Charlotte... until the crime, the coursening of culture, the mismanagement, all become ambient white noise. There is never a shortage of shiny objects to distract from the descent.
