Did Roseanne do it?

She’s guilty, then.

I bet if I tweeted that judge’s home address things would work out a little less favorably for me.

FL judges LIKED the idea of people being penalized for defending themselves. This judge sees this as judicial extortion by implying by force of law that family will be in danger if you assert your rights.

Someone should Tweet the home address of the judge and send out a call for vigilante justice. See how she likes it...

Even if it were for the the purpose of sending "thank you" notes? (/sarc)

But I bet he’d make damn sure lesbians would get every penny of a judgment they say is due them for anyone who wouldn’t bake them a damn cake.

In addition, the Zimmermans became public figures in the aftermath of the Trayvon Martin killing and willingly entered the national conversation, attorney David Fink argued.

Willingly? WTF?

I wonder what happens if Zimmerman posts Barr's home address and calls for vigilante justice?

Nothing, I guess. There seems to be legal precedent now.

so....what is to stop a malicious person from setting up a fake Twitter account and then just re-tweeting the dangerous tweets from the fake originator?
