Actually, after reading through the thread again and looking up some articles, it seems that Rushy is right in fact. My apologies.
Vauxy, you are wrong it seems.
I acknowledged that in my previous post. Doesn't change the fact that Rushy is wrong and supporting communism. It's arguably very similar, because Tiny Doo had no connections to the shootings. Freedom of speech and artistic expression should protect Tiny Doo from this kind of nonsense. As far as I can tell, the rapper has no connection to any of the nine shootings apart from some lyrics. I don't understand how Eminem can rap about killing his wife and not be prosecuted, yet this guy can rap about unrelated incidents and be prosecuted. Is it because he's black?
People getting away with a crime previously is no defense.
Not when no crime took place. Eminem did not kill his wife, only talked about it in his lyrics. Creative license protects him from prosecution.
Could Eminem be prosecuted?Dreeben said no. Eminem is saying that "at a concert where people are going to be entertained. This is a critical part of the context. It wasn't as if he stated to her in private or on a Facebook page after having received a protection from abuse order. It wasn't as if he appropriated a style or rap that wasn't anything that he had been doing previously in the marriage and all of a sudden tried to express violent statements that way," Dreeben said. "In the context, I think any reasonable person would conclude at a minimum that there is ambiguity about these statements being a serious intention of expression to do harm. And this is critical here. We're talking about an area in which if the jury finds that it's ambiguous, it has to acquit."Tiny Doo does not commit the crimes he sings about. He has no previous record. The nine shootings he is being charged with inciting have nothing to do with him. The prosecution cannot even connect the two things. Therefore, the nine shootings are irrelevant in this case and the charges against Tiny Doo should be dropped. Do the gang members say that Tiny Doo's lyrics motivated them to commit the crime? No. Was Tiny Doo involved in the crime? No. Did Tiny Doo sing about it before it happened? Yes, but how is that relevant when he was not involved in the actual crimes being committed?
Would Bob Marley be charged from the grave if someone shot a sheriff?
