Following the topic posted below…Imagine this..

 Theres no possible way that a mistemeanor can be filed against me. After talking to an attorney.. its only a waste of time for the Sheriffs Dept to attempt it. as is ” no such charge can be filed ”

 Ohh.. too bad … so sad!

And heres portions of why:

Cohen v. California

Facts of the Case: 

A 19-year-old department store worker expressed his opposition to the Vietnam War by wearing a jacket emblazoned with “FUCK THE DRAFT. STOP THE WAR” The young man, Paul Cohen, was charged under a California statute that prohibits “maliciously and willfully disturb[ing] the peace and quiet of any neighborhood or person [by] offensive conduct.” Cohen was found guilty and sentenced to 30 days in jail.

Question: 

Did California’s statute, prohibiting the display of offensive messages such as “Fuck the Draft,” violate freedom of expression as protected by the First Amendment?

Conclusion: 

Yes. In an opinion by Justice John Marshall Harlan, the Court reasoned that the expletive, while provocative, was not directed toward anyone; besides, there was no evidence that people in substantial numbers would be provoked into some kind of physical action by the words on his jacket. Harlan recognized that “one man’s vulgarity is another’s lyric.” In doing so, the Court protected two elements of speech: the emotive (the expression of emotion) and the cognitive (the expression of ideas).

TO sum it up, if I was charged.. its part of the First Amendment.

Better luck next time

Over the time of the last few years I took the time of being a parent to my girlfriend.  I dropped out of high school to deal with her health/drug problems. Which her Mother didn’t give a damn.  Her mother instead always was on the notion of her husband was more important. Work was also important to her..

A parent is defined by most ” someone who will take care of their kids/family through everything”

In this case the parent was only  “My husband needs food before surgery”

Interesting tales eh?

So now aparently when you tell a parent how to be a parent its guilty of a misdemeanor. Imagine that..
