So, if you were at say, your Mom’s funeral, and some d-bag decided it would be funny to stand around making crude insinuations about her chastity and virtue, that should be OK, because its ‘freedom of speech’? This guy went out of his way to find a facebook tribute page and troll it in order to deliberately cause upset.
You do understand how incredibly slippery, steep, and short the slope is when you start jailing people for "offensive" posts on the internet, don't you?
Uhhhh....step back and recall the “congress shall make no law” part of A1.
No, it would not be OK, but it would not be a cause to put someone in jail. People have way too hard a time separating private action from government action. If someone made a crude comment about your mother at her funeral, punch the person or ask them to leave. But the person should not be arrested and jailed.
Obama would use this law to arrest every Freeper.
I don’t disagree the man is an ass, and need a punch in the face.
I do disagree he needs to be arrested.

Anybody who beats the living hell out of such a person should be fined 10 cents for the first offense and 15 cents for each subsequent offense. Should he inadvertently go too far with the beating, increase the fine to 25 cents.
