If they keep jailing people for protesting, we should send in Shrekbots with strapons and tell them to complete the job at any cost.
But, thankfully, they were wise enough to only jail for a day. Also, be more creative, I know a certain image on the sodium site that would instill grave fear.
But we don't send that... Yet.
Yet the 34 count felon, rapist, traitor, document thief among other likely crimes, was not held in jail at all, just got his silly pic he sells now.
This is my thread people, move along
As a former columbus resident I'm gonna guess this is the rooster. Sounds up his alley.
Edit: ayy
The blogger, D.J. Byrnes, runs The Rooster political website.
The Shrek image may have been crude or vulgar. But in context, there is no serious argument Byrnes sent it to arouse anyone’s sexual interest.
Speak for yourself!
I have to see Trump's fat ass in the news every day, can we get a criminal complaint about how that is harassment to our fucking eyes?
And ears and brains
What do you mean not the onion? I have it on good authority ogres are like onions.
Okay so this is some Kentucky Fried Bullshit.
I thought we lived in 'Murica, mkay?
Ik this won't be a popular take because, as evidenced by this very comment section even, critical thinking isn't popular, but this is sexual harassment. Sending people porn non-consentually is sexual harassment. Yes, even when the person you're sexually harassing a piece of shit themselves, is that seriously a hard concept to grasp?? This dude is a piece of shit too if he thinks it's okay to send someone porn without consent.
EDIT: Harassment not assault.
Generally, harassment is a course of conduct over a period of time, not a one-off. The bar for a one-off encounter being harassment of any kind is high, with good reason.
That reason, to me, is that any reasonable person should be robust enough that all but the most serious, malicious communication should be something they can shrug off without much ill effect if it's a single isolated message. Getting a picture of a wanking cartoon character and a disparaging message isn't going to be pleasant for most people, sure, but if that's it?
The logic behind punishment for sexual harassment is not - or should not - be any different from the logic behind punishment for non-sexual harassment; it should be proportional to the harm caused, and it should take the same standard of a "person of reasonable firmness" or whatever the legalese is.
Did you read the linked article?
If so, could you be so kind as to speak to why you disagree with its unusually thorough and detailed legal analysis of the matter at hand?
The Shrek image may have been crude or vulgar. But in context, there is no serious argument Byrnes sent it to arouse anyone’s sexual interest, let alone that it satisfies the Miller test. Byrnes sent it to another adult, reportedly accompanied by political commentary describing Cirino as “Young Mussolini.” That’s protected political mockery, not obscenity.
i can't take an article or author serious when they argue shreenis is not titillating.
So uhh.... Is it ya know... Big?
Why do you think he wears pants instead of a loincloth?
Fiona being cursed to turn into an ogre at night was a blessing in disguise.
Feels like everyone should make all their avatars Shrek’s penis.
I would in a heartbeat if just for a day or two, but I suspect it's not allowed?
EDIT: I did it, but I pixelated it. Hopefully I won't get banned for that.
Wing the change you want to see in the world! Respect!
Haven't read the article, but I'm wondering if this is the line Ted Cruz has drawn on Internet Comment Etiquette. If he still tweets at him.
didn't you hear ted cruz is head of the internet shrek penis taskforce
