"The Chaplinsky decision" was a Supreme Court case that ruled incorrectly against Walter Chaplinsky, and curbed American's freedom of speech with a new class of forbidden words called "fighting words". While some words may qualify as "fighting words", it's ironic that Walter Chaplinsky would be convicted of using them since he was a victim of mob violence and police brutality, who also had endured "fighting words" used against him by the arresting officer James Bowering, as well as others.
Some folks say that actions are louder than words. The US Supreme Court in 1942 evidently disagreed.
The insulting words that Walter Chaplinsky used were "Fascist" and "Racketeer".
Fascist. Racketeer. I wonder if James Bowering laughed outright when he heard those insults. Nah... probably not. He's too damned serious.
Walter was called, ironically, hypocritically, beforehand, "an unpatriotic dog", "a damned bastard", and "a son of a bitch"... twice! A son of a bitch! For some reason, they brought his mother into the argument! And which one is worse? Being called "a fascist" and "a racketeer", or being called an "unpatriotic dog", "damned bastard" and "a son of a bitch", twice?
Plus there's the outright blatant violence.
A man named Bowman, a friend of James Bowering, choked Walter Chaplinsky, and then Bowman tried to spear Walter Chaplinsky with a flagpole, knocking Walter into the street. An unidentified deputy Sheriff punched Walter, and James Bowering manhandled Walter Chaplinsky by pushing and shoving him to the police station.
Words are words, and actions are actions.
So, to recap "the Chaplinsky decision":
Get pushed and shoved... that's ok.
Get punched... that's ok.
Get choked... that's ok.
Almost speared... that's ok.
Get called a "son of a bitch" & "unpatriotic dog" & "damned bastard"... that's ok too.
BUT, return the insult by calling them a "fascist" or "racketeer", and that's CRIMINAL, deserving of arrest and 6 months in jail.
Wtf!?!
GTFOH!!!
Fuck James Bowering, his buddy Bowman, and the 1942 Supreme Court. Those wicked mf'ers can suck my DICK!!!
