Got to love this far right wing red neck state. See you can now carry a gun anywhere even against a property owners wishes. because by god that's a right given to us by God. But I'll be damned if you'll have free speech on your own property. This women got arrested for practicing her right to freedom of speech and expression on her own property.
Right Wing Nuts treat our rights like they selectively read the bible, they only care for the ones they like.
A large piece of porcelain hate mail left outside a Mt. Pleasant home for a Maury County drug investigator and the rest of the world to see bought the writer a trip to jail for disorderly conduct, police said Patti M. Cole, 48, who is employed at Mt. Pleasant Middle School, was jailed Wednesday and released on $1,000 bond for allegedly scrawling an obscene message on a broken toilet and leaving it in the front yard of a home she owns on Adams Avenue. columbiadailyherald.com/sections/news/local-news/%E2%80%98dear-john%E2%80%99-toilet-message-brings-charges.html

(A) This Detective, with all due respect, needs to grow some thicker skin. I've had my name scratched, with similar insulting epithets, on more bathroom fixtures than Ms. Cole has failed to return phone messages from the media multiplied by the times her daughter has been convicted of drug offenses. And those are just the ones in local law enforcement administrative restrooms.
(B) This Detective maybe should learn to articulate, to his children, that sometimes enabling parents of drug addicted children will do some pretty ignorant things. I mean they continue to shelter, hide and excuse their drug addicted children, right? Go figure, kids.
(C) It is seemingly obvious that he was erudite enough to convince a freaking lawyer, and a Judge, that there was enough merit to his affidavit that the whole First Amendment thing should be ignored. He got his warrant from someone, right? Someone that expressive should be able to explain the facts of life to his kids.
Oh, sh**. Most of my posts on the Police Blotter serve no legitimate purpose (Other than stress management for me) and may be patently, and physically, offensive to some. They's gonna get warrants for me, now? (I do not wish to give anyone any ideas, so I scratched that last part out.)
You think that's tough, Detective? I guess he hasn't asked where he came from yet. "Had my son read it", means he did not. That leads me to believe you took proactive steps, without the intervention of the courts, to isolate him from things you did not think he was prepared to deal with until you were prepared to deal with it, with him. Kinda like why I refuse to take my young boys to R-rated movies. (You blew your whole case with that one quote, sir.)
Get over it. At least Ms. Cole was literate enough to spell your name correctly.
Now, based on your warrant, and the subsequent arrest of the 'artiste', and the resulting news coverage (Now National), the internets posts, ACLU lawsuits and soon-to-come legal motions, you're gonna have to do even more to shield your kids than just not driving by this chick's house until she got tired of having a shitter, with faded Sharpie-Marker scribbles, in her front yard1.
Brilliant strategical move.
I, sadly, foresee a future in politics for ya!
1Had this happened in Chattanooga, this whole hoopla would have been moot, in the first place. 3.6 minutes after she posted her art in her yard, Mayor Littlefield would have been able to fine Ms. Cole for some sewer violation (And a billboard violation), which Ms. Cole could have immediately paid off with her $360,000 Chattanooga Arts and Education Grant. And even that would be moot, as 3.2 minutes after she had posted her art in her yard, the art would have been stolen for its copper content or shot to miniscule pieces in a gang war.

And, I might add, aceman forgets (Or chooses to ignore) the Blue State candidate (President Obama) has done more to eradicate 'Free Speech' than some simple cop, a simple District Attorney and a simple Judge in a simple small town in Tennessee. A simple miscarriage of justice (On a local scale) seems to far outweigh a complex system of injustice (On a national scale) in the minds of simpletons.

Care to cite of an example?

The Patriot Act passed after the September 11 attacks gave the Federal Bureau of Investigation strong authority to order that people's telecom records be handed over, without such requests having to be disclosed.
But in her ruling, Illston said evidence indicated that tens of thousands of NSLs are sent out every year, and that 97 percent of them are fettered with the provision that recipients never mention the requests
Nice try double yoo and cheney were the pioneers of the patriot act, which in reality is the RICO act on steroids. Been in play long before President Obama was born in Kenya.

Correct.
So, using your logic, aceman.... Since slavery was 'in play' long before President Lincoln, you'd be OK with him claiming he was against it, all the while doing nothing to end it?
And not only do nothing to end slavery, but encouraging, by official Presidential policy, the expansion of it?
If President Obama had any true concern for 'Free Speech', he would not be using (And using to excess) such an evil tool against free speech, now would he?

All we heard from politicians left and right media was after 9/11 this country has changed for ever. This part of that change I don't agree with any of it didn't then don't now. "The old line he who gives up liberty for safety deserves niether" That's why i hate road blocks,checkpoints.etc....It is what it is..

i fail to see how this story can be connected to a political party (right wing nuts). some small town LEO decided to get revenge on a detractor. how does that rise to TN state politics?
ETA: aceman, how do you even know that this officer, DA or judge are "right wing nuts"?

Just basing in on the Red State Status that Tennessee has gained. On the record that part of Tennessee's is red as a di*k on a dog. So I'd say the percentages of them being wing nuts are pretty high.

Generalize much?

Or just some more red state herrings......
