Man Arrested For His Political Beliefs
Citizen Watch Report ^ | Chris Black

If you flier on peoples property, which is technically legal, and they find the message offensive, suddenly the First Amendment is trumped by ethnic intimidation laws.

America effectively has hate speech laws.

Listen to the detective at the end tell him he needs to keep his beliefs to himself.

“If you flier on peoples property, which is technically legal...”

So much for “No Trespassing” signs...

It started with him. But it won’t end with him. In time it will be applied [used against[ Trump supporters or which other political candidate that the Powers that be don’t like his/her views along with their supporters. Donald Trump and Margie Taylor Greene come to mind. The only question remaining to be answered is, how long will it take.

Why let them into your house? Dumb. I Don’t know what he did or what the sign said, but I would not let them in my house. Want to come in my house get a warrant!

When did “flier” become a verb?

If you enter someone else’s property without permission that is trespassing.

If you have permission to enter another person’s property but then refuse to leave after the property owner revokes said permission that is also trespassing.

This doesn’t sound like a First Amendment issue to me. People have the right to avoid unwanted solicitation in their own homes. If that’s not the case then I’ve violated someone’s First Amendment Rights every time I’ve closed the door on a Jehovah’s Witness or hung up on a telemarketer.

No jerk, In America we don’t need to keep our beliefs to ourselves.
That’s one of the things that makes us better than every where else.

About the same time as "message" and "impact". And about 50 others.

According to all the online dictionaries I’ve checked, “message” and “impact” can be verbs.

But none of the dictionaries include “flier” as a verb. The word “flier” is always just a plain old noun.

Ah, I just noticed that “peoples” is also grammatically incorrect. And that putting fliers on others’ property is *not* legal, “technically” or otherwise.

Bottom line: The author of that piece appears to be both illiterate and ignorant.

There's something to be said for consistency, I suppose.

Depends. If the property owner accepts getting fliers on his porch from local restaurants and home repair outfits, can he call the cops on someone because he objects to the message on a particular flier?

Good point. Here's a (slanted) article about the situation. As much as I dislike the guy's message, I don't think it's right arresting someone over hurt feelings.
