Florida Authorities In Hysterical Crusade Against First Amendment

From Prison Planet.

Police and media outlets in Florida are hysterically characterizing the placement of Obama Joker posters as some kind of assault on the people of Clermont, creating “victims” and leading to demands for arrests and criminal charges, a shocking indictment of the state of free speech and the evisceration of the first amendment in America.

As we reported earlier this week, in an effort to chill freedom of speech and intimidate people from exercising their first amendment rights, the establishment media is claiming that posting flyers in public places represents vandalism and is a criminal offense, despite the fact that such practice has been commonplace in America for hundreds of years.

Authorities have frenetically seized upon a minority of the posters that were posted on federal property in order to whip up artificial outrage and concoct the perception that the people who posted them have committed some kind of abominable, ghastly and evil criminal deed.

The same overreaction, frothing and hair-pulling over the posters was not evident in Los Angeles, or any of the other hundreds of towns and cities where the flyers have been placed.

Now the Orlando Sentinel reports that Clermont police are hunting down “suspects” who placed the posters, having already detained and interrogated one individual, with a view to presenting both local and federal charges against the culprits for the State Attorney’s Office to review.
