Her sister Wynonna would solve the nasty tweet problem by knocking back a few, finding the perpetrators, and hitting them over the head with a Jack Daniels bottle.

She's also not "sharing" her tweet that started it all.

Here is an excerpt regarding the rumored/reported tweet from Kentucky.com.

"The original tweet does not appear on Judd's current Twitter feed. But it was widely reported Sunday as this: "@ArkRazorbacks dirty play can kiss my team's free throw making a— ... Bloodied 3 players so far.

She's a troll and the responders went overboard.

I chuckle every time I hear people say that (and that's very often). They are the same folks that get very upset and even resort to physical violence when you go up to them and call them a dwarf, stupid, fat, ugly, cripple, smelly, baldie, and so on. Aw, don't be so sensitive, it's just words . . .

It's easy to brush off something when the words are directed at someone else.

It seems to me that this is not really a free speech issue. Twitter is a private network, not a public place, so they could prohibit any kind of speech they chose, including this sort of thing. Of course, they don't and, as everyone knows, Twitter is a vile place, so those who don't go for that sort of thing should stay off. Does this mean we abandon this social media network to the nasty hordes? That already happened long ago. We'll see if Twitter can succeed as a business if it's basically just hosting bullying, sexual innuendo, and threats. My bet is not.

That's why I said aside from direct threats of violence. Direct threats of violence are not speech but assault. But Judd seems angry about mocking of her.

In terms of the government, yes it does you mean you say anything to anyone as long as it is not a direct threat of violence or you bearing false witness against another. Other than that any issue is a civil issue (possible defamation). Not criminal.

^^^^^Nailed it.

There are a lot of rabid, moronic fans out there, especially at mediocre schools that happen to have good sports programs and wealthy, discreet boosters.
