Every Council Meeting Has Its Crackpots
-
Is there a limit on free speech? What about for a guy who goes to Los Angeles City Council meetings wearing a KKK hood adorned with swastikas and allegedly filled out a comment card with a drawing of a man hanging from a tree, all aimed at the African-American council president, to whom he referred with the N-word? He got arrested for the perceived threat, which he claimed was not a threat -- oh, sure -- and he claims he's not a racist -- oh, sure -- and he represents immigrants fighting deportation -- oh, sure. This guy's been at this kind of thing for a long time, and it does test how tolerant you are of allowing all kinds of speech, including the weird, unhinged, inexplicable, and racist.
