You'll have to show me the section of law that requires freedom of speech to be deep and insightful. Ticking people off is a major point of free speech.
Danish cartoons, South Park, Doonesbury, Dilbert, George Carlin, Bible/Quran burning, Jesse Jackson, KKK marches...all offensive to somebody. Too damn bad.
The entire point is protection of *offensive* speech. If the speech wasn't offensive, it wouldn't need protection in the first place.
From the DA's comments, it is clear this is a Christian jihad against this young man. If it was a statue of Zeus or Venus, I doubt any charges would be brought.
In this country, at least for now, we don't allow charges to be brought for any sort of blasphemy. Now is not a good time to bring back those repulsive laws either.
I was not aware that the sole purpose of South Park was to be offensive. It's comical and thought provoking. Humping a Jesus statue in Jesus country isn't thought provoking.
There's saying controversial things, and there's trolling. He's a troll, and he got what he wanted.
