A Very Troubling Story

This comes from my home state of NJ. Apparently some boob made a Facebook page for himself with a lot of racist comedy on it. Maybe its in poor taste, but the rest of the story is insane. I mean not only did he lose his job but he is being investigated to see if posting that stuff counts as a hate crime! RIP Freedom of Speech.

He'll sue, and win. The taxes in Bergen are about to go up.

(if this guy is true to Yankee Italian form, he's offended by jokes about wops, dagos, guineas and "the mob"...I have several of those in my family)

Come on Missy, after you're done beating them all down with your horse whip, maybe you would like to try it on me?

Bad taste and behavior should be shunned, but not censored.

"Borough Administrator Anthony Iacono says the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office and Paramus police are investigating whether the posting could be considered a bias crime."

What is a bias crime? Poor taste? Yes. Reprehensible? Yes. Illegal? Don't be silly! It seems that the only issue here is whether he posted this drivel to hie Facebook page on his employer's time. If so, fire him for using city resources for personal purposes.

The Shade Tree and Parks Commission? Oh well, it is NJ.

As i've always said, there are lots of people who are very lucky that stupidity isn't a capital offense. But a hate crime? What would they have called this if the phony hate crime law wasn't invented? But, something tells me we had better get used to this, now that we're living in Year 1 of The New Order.
