[Vision2020] If You Look Young, Don't Buy Spray Paint ;-)

[keely emerinemix]

Bill never said that chalking "Hitler Youth" on the sidewalk was OK.  He 
said it wasn't criminally vandalism, nor was it libel or slander.  In fact, 
he indicated his belief that it was in bad taste, etc.

And yes, free speech is often disgusting.  "Hitler Youth" on the sidewalk in 
front of NSA is disgusting, but it isn't illegal.

But if one uses chalk and writes "Hitler youth" on the sidewalk in
"Friendship" Square it's OK. At least Bill London thought so. It's only
Political free speech or as Bill put it: "The message is legitimate and
legal speech".

I say let the anarchists have their say. If what was said here on Blind
2020 was done in spray paint would it be considered free speech or
"Injury by Graffiti"?
