"You don't get to decide the context, other people don't get to decide the context, the court decides. That's dangerous."** So a judge decides 'context is irrelevant'. He said so. EDIT: Interesting development. https://www.gofundme.com/fund-the-count-dankula-appeal Then there is this https://www.liverpoolecho.co.u[...]who-posted-rap-lyrics-14543694 **But PC Walker said that the ‘n word’ was always offensive, whether used by white or black people. She also said that it did not matter how the word was spelt.** Snap Dogg (who?) in his lyrics spells it ending -gga. Also PC Walker asked the word not be said in court at all. How then do courts deal with accounts of racial abuse? Judge Jack McGarva then went on to say such language has no place in civil society. Yet Kendrick Lamar has just won the Pulitzer prize for music. Not the judge's making, but next time we hear someone blasting out 'rap' from their car windows or even 'at home' I expect the courts in turn soon to be chock a block. Go figure any of it because I'm goosed if I can. Reply | with quote | Posted by sanshee 25th April 2018ce 11:53 |
