1st Amendment and Hate Speech

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

We got the ACLU involved and the case/conviction was dropped immediately before we even had to go through with the appeal.

I was actually hoping for a trial. Would have been fun.

Are you serious? Thats insane.

Ive never heard of such things in the U.S Thought the rule of thumb dont threaten to kill someone and dont yell fire in a crowded movie theatre when there is no fire. Other then that from what I understand its free game. Unless your holding a massive rally speaking shit that will piss a town off...otherwise you need a permit to hold such a rally.


This political correctness is what we gotta worry about. Thats the agenda's way to "curb" freedom of speech.

I've seen cops get serious about someone cursing them, generally writing them up for "disturbing the peace" until an eventual court ruling found that a policemen on duty, because of his elevated legal status, cannot have his peace disturbed.
