    A man insults some Muslims on social media and California is prosecuting him.

    http://reason.com/volokh/2017/12/29/calif-prosecuting-man-for-insulting-post

    Some of course will try to spin and say it is about harassment but that is simply false. The posts were made on facebook. The Islamic center who he posted the messages to simply blocked him thus ending the whole thing.

    Can't call it harassment when one can be ignored and is.

    The motive here is quite simple California just needs to stop pretending and start calling itself Pyongyang.

    He was simply banned which ended the whole thing.

    OF course the state cannot allow such criticism of Islam

    This is comical considering California universities actually teach anti Jew courses. Just Google it.

    I wonder if California will prosecute for insulting comments on the FB or Twitter page of the NRA in California.

    Perhaps Soupnazi could set up a soup stands in California and change the world.

    looks like harrassment to me.

    though can you harrass an organization, not just an individual?

    thats up to the DA to decide.

    but his words were disgusting and reprehensible. similar to what the Nazis said about Jews.

    So are you ready to support the arrest and prosecution of the BLM types who use social media to insult and attack Whites and police?

    Hell, maybe I go back and find some comment you've made to me here that I didn't like and I call up the fascists of California to demand they punish you next?

    Sound like a good path we should take as a nation?

    i am not yet convinced that an institution can be harrassed.

    a person, yes.

    but not sure about an institution.

    An individual cannot be harassed when they have the easily exercised power of blocking anything you say which is exactly what happened here.

    I keep waiting for California to secede from the Union and remove 55 Liberal Electoral votes from the books.

    The state has been slowly morphing into America's North Korea. Honest people that work for a living are fleeing the state in droves. Soon there will be nothing left but a Slave underclass.

    Yes I disagree with what he said as well. It is indeed reprehensible. But hate speech is indeed protected speech and should be. Which is precisely what your tagline means.

    If he had tried to circumvent the block or ban on facebook in order to continue posting to the site then there MIGHT be a case for harassment. He did not do this however he simply posted insults until stopped be being blocked.

    No harassment there. It is is akin to me getting in someone's face and shouting insults until they say " leave me alone " . IF I leave them alone it cannot be called harassment.

    Well since they got all those electoral votes from packing the state with illegal immigrants over the decades one can only hope.

    California is so dysfunctional and corrupt it'll end up like Puerto Rico.

    You're talking to the guy that wants to ban Russians from Facebook because they post things he disagrees with.

    It's basically an anti-harassment / anti-stalking law that he breached.
    What's your problem?

    You defend stalkers now?


    Same guy made telephone threads to that Muslim organisation.

    He breached no such law.

    He expressed himself until it was stopped. Stalking or harassment would make sense if he got around the block that they put on his posts but he did not even try.

    There is no evidence that he made any threats on phone or otherwise.

    i fully support anti-harrassment laws against persons and groups.

    but there is no evidence this guy attempted to continue his taunting and attacks after he was blocked from the FB page.

    he didn't send letters, emails, etc. he simply stopped communications.

    he should be aqcuited.
