In New Haven, Connecticut, home to Yale University, a conservative woman spent a year embroiled in the criminal justice system based on the allegation that she had hurled a racial slur at someone. Ultimately, the case was dismissed because videos proved her innocence, but the whole case perfectly illustrates how leftists are destroying free speech by redefining the line between speech and violence.
Lauren Noble, the founder of the Buckley Institute, which exists to “promot[e] intellectual diversity at Yale University,” was arrested a year ago. The charge? She allegedly used a racial slur against a parking attendant:
The charges stem from incidents that occurred on July 6, July 13 and July 27 in 2023.
The parking attendant, Gerno Allen, who is a Black man, told police Noble called him a racist slur when he encountered her alone on July 6 and July 13, 2023 at the 58 Wall St. parking lot where he worked, according to the warrant for the woman’s arrest.
He claimed Noble called him the same racist slur again on July 27, 2023 after his manager spoke to her about him, the warrant said.

There were a few problems with this allegation and her subsequent arrest and prosecution. As Noble explains in an essay she wrote for the New York Post,
I denied it. I asked the cops to check the parking lot’s surveillance video.
They didn’t — and the state charged me first with disorderly conduct, then with three counts of breach of peace in the second degree.

When the state finally obtained the video footage I had asked the police to view before arresting me — footage that had been accessible all along — it showed me, on multiple dates, calmly parking, getting out of my car and walking away.
No confrontation

In this sort of thing you are guilty until proven innocent, even though it wouldn’t even be a crime if it was the other way around.
“Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven.”
its not about evidence
its the seriousness of the charges
the process is the punishment
anyone get fired?
i think not
it was intentional
I don’t think it is illegal to call someone names.
I don’t think slander would apply to some schmo on the street insulting another.
Feelings, nothing more than feelings.
I think that cases like this, where the defendant is proven innocent, the plaintiff should pay all of the defendant’s legal costs associated with the case. It think this might lessen the number of “nuisance cases” that currently clog the courts.
loser pays
So then nothing happened to the racist…………..parking attendant?

In my world I have moved toward not speaking to anyone who is not in my circle.
Hate crime laws were created to criminalize anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, and to set free non-Whites who assault Whites.
That’s what she did — You didn’t read the article, and apparently the headline writer didn’t either.
Donald Trump is the 21st century spiritual incarnation of Abraham Lincoln.
The woke leftist Democrat Party is the continuation of the misguided postulations of Stephen Douglas and the rest of the 19th century advocates of slavery.
The ongoing debates on the internet, television, et al. between Trump and the misguided "woke" leftist Democrats et al. are a replay of the Lincoln-Douglas Debates.
This is hardly surprising.
President Trump leads the Republican Party, the Party of Lincoln.
The "woke" leftist Democrats lead the Democrat Party, the party of slavery, the ku klux klan, the Trail of Tears, infanticide, election fraud, political corruption, racism, hate, and evil.
The battle lines are clearly drawn. The choice is between good and evil.
The American People must make this choice today just as the American People were faced with the choice between freedom and slavery in the mid-19th century.
-- West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943)
Yeah, I read that, I was just saying I do the same no talkie to anyone, but I think stuff and they can’t stop that...
This is all a shame. I really like rap music but I’m not allowed to say the words out loud or I will be prosecuted. JK
