I would like to see the same scrutiny on the naacp and black congressional congress thieves. |
| Jane Q Citizen Thursday, June 16, 2011: 11:39 am More from Jane Q Citizen | I'm proud our police officers took a stand and stopped Buhls. I thought people needed permits or permission to distribute literature to businesses. What about trampling on the rights of business owners who do not want hate literature left in their place of business. |

| Perplexed Reader Thursday, June 16, 2011: 12:32 pm More from Perplexed Reader | Sounds like most of us located on S Main St took exception to the trash this fellow was leaving at our businesses! I followed him down the street and gave his "rag" back to him. He told me he was dropping off "mail". What a jerk. |
| Reality Check Thursday, June 16, 2011: 9:12 pm More from Reality Check | drummer, you don't beat the drum of most of the citizens in this community anymore. You have the right to your views but don't assume they're right just because you and Fox news think they are. Your posts are blatantly racist and last I checked, the NAACP or Al Sharpton have not been in the area littering. |

| dramaintheville Thursday, June 16, 2011: 10:48 pm More from dramaintheville | 1. The first amendment protects the distribution of free political newspapers, fliers, or leaflets in public places. See Lovell vs. City of Griffin, 303 U.S. 444 (1938) where a local law infringing the rights of people to do so was struck down. The court said the following : The first Amendment necessarily embraces pamphlets and leaflets. These indeed have been historic weapons in the defense of liberty, as the pamphlets of Thomas Paine and others in our town history abundantly attest. 2. The first Amendment protects distributors of political literature for pretextual arrests for littering. In Schneider vs. New Jersey, 308 U.S. 147 (1939) the court said: We are of the opinion that the purpose to keep the streets clean and of good appearance is sufficient to justify an ordinance which prohibits a person rightfully on a public street from handing literature to one willing to receive it. Any burden imposed upon the city authorities in cleaning and caring for the streets as an indirect consequence of such distribution results from the constitutional protection of the freedom of speech and press. |
| Sunny Thursday, June 16, 2011: 11:34 pm More from Sunny | I was unsatisfied with the Crusader... it was of little comparison to my preference of Charmin Ultra. Thank you Chief Davis, and others involved for staying the course on your decision. JimBob, Your nonsense, redneck antics grew old shortly after your maiden post! Theatrics and controversy is not your forte. However, if my assumption is incorrect and this isn't a poor attempt at sarcasm then please... walk away from the computer and return to your late night "Shindigs" located in the casibo on the south/southeast corner of the courthouse lawn. |
| Lower Taxes Less Gov Friday, June 17, 2011: 2:10 am More from Lower Taxes Less Gov | I say if they ticket him for passing out his "trash". The US Postal service should have to stop passing out all the other flyers and junk mail/Trash. We say we want to be a green nation, yet the USPS pass out millions of pieces of junk mail a day and dont give us the right to opt out. I say Fine them! The USPS is the biggest litter bug out there!! If this guy was passing out free gas coupons nothing would be said. Its only because of the content he is passing out that is a problem!!! Free speach I say damnit if you dont like the contents throw it away, so simple! |
