marinarasays...next up, Jail time for "rolling your eyes"
Boise_Libsays...*promote
siftbotsays...Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Sunday, September 18th, 2011 7:16pm PDT - promote requested by original submitter Boise_Lib.
Gallowflaksays...Sick and tired of these people being cunts and then they/their families pull out the "BUT AUTISM!!!11" bullshit. Go fuck yourself. He's just a sociopath.

Completely agree.
So many people these days are using the "I have aspergers" line as an excuse, when really they're just complete arseholes or arrogant. They think saying they have aspergers (whether they really do or don't is moot) they can get away with it. Well I say it's time to call BS on that shit and own up to being a dick. Or, better yet, stop being a dick!
dystopianfuturetodaysays..."Ass burgers"... lol... [knock! knock! knock!..]

There's no law against being a dick. As much as I hate trolls/dicks/assholes, making up a law to shut them up is a bad idea.
MrFisksays...Now we know what happened to choggie.
RedSkysays...You're in jail now, LOLZ.
Porksandwichsays...Depends on how he tried to contact these families. If he spent his time calling them, emailing them, posting to their facebook/whatever pages....IE picking a member and specifically putting this in their face for no other reason than to upset them. I think he should absolutely be punished for it if he is contacting them directly and repeatedly, especially if he shows a pattern of contacting a particular type of person in this case those who've recently lost a teenager.
Now, if he has a mental illness, then as well as punishment he should receive treatment. And if he refuses any and all treatment options, then he should spend the maximum time locked up as there is the likelihood that he will never stop. Mentally ill people don't often pull themselves out of it without medication or something really traumatic/intense happening to them.....like getting beaten bad enough that it requires some recovery time to where they can directly associate what they do to getting their ass kicked thoroughly.
And there's always the chance that he is being treated and his medication is causing obsessiveness and fixations like this. In which case, if it's preventing bigger issues and they haven't found other medications that work as well as the one he is taking or are out of options for medications/treatments. Then they should stick him in a group home where his actions can be monitored/filtered/blocked however it needs to be done.
Sagemindsays...Free Speech vs. Harassment?

Damnn, Lumm, you are good!
@jimnms Besides, we say free speech as though we want it limitless. It is only trolling after all... Yet, when it comes to guns, then, then we need limits! Because guns can kill people (Just like speech can.) And we all agree, somehow, that there should be those limits to guns. Even though the old laws allow for limitless use of both. How hypocritical.
This is just my opinion and bears no factual basis so please don't as for another citation
I think we on the sift looooooves our freedoms so very much that we are blinded to the fact that they are granted freedoms, not rights.
jimnmssays...>> ^Lumm:
Just like it says, those laws just add electronic forms of communications into existing stalking and harassment laws. That still doesn't make it illegal to be a dick. If it was, who gets to decide what's considered dickish? Like they already said in the video, how is what he did any different than the WBC protesting at dead soldier's funerals. Should it be illegal because it's done online, but perfectly OK to do it in person? As sickening as what he did and what the WBC do, if we start telling them they can't do it, then that's just the start of the snowball rolling down the mountain.[citation] http://www.ncsl.org/default.aspx?tabid=13495

I'd agree, except by everything I've read/saw he contacts the families and directs them to his stuff. They don't indicate how many times he contacts them or how he contacts them. But if there were no contact, it's likely his whole message would never be seen by the families and they wouldn't even know about it to react to it. The contact part is the important part of this, not him putting abhorrent things on the internet.
It's the difference between some guy telling everyone he meets that he thinks you're an asshole and him calling you everyday to tell you that he thinks you're an asshole. You tell him once to stop calling/emailing/etc and he's supposed to stop.
The difference with WBC is that if they do it in a public location, it's within their rights...if they take to doing it in your front yard or something you have direct control over then it moves into a different arena of law. You have the right to tell people to get off your property and to not call/email/write you anymore, and people will be punished if they continue to do those things. Like this guy.
nanrodsays...My son has Asburger's Syndrome and you're absolutely correct that it is in no way an excuse for this kind of behavior. Sufferers are impulsive in their behavior but the key symptom is an inability to recognize social cues and read body language which results in them behaving inappropriately in social situations. However over the internet they are on an even playing field with everyone else and come across as perfectly normal. They are usually very intelligent and have no problem knowing right from wrong. When I showed this vid to my son he got very angry at the guy's actions but more so at his using AS as an excuse for being an extreme douche (his words) >> ^NaMeCaF:
