What. The. Fuck.

Supreme Court strikes down law that banned animal cruelty videos because it was a violation of free speech.

What.

I'm sorry, if you're filming videos of dog-fighting, or crush videos, yeah, that shit should be against the law, and it shouldn't fall under free speech. Fuck that.

You want to know what's even more surprising? The sole dissenter was Alito.

Do you feel the Rodney King beating tape should be censored?

No. If the video is used to expose animal cruelty or be used as evidence then yes, it's necessary.'

But someone selling videos of dog fights for money as entertainment should be stopped.

If you don't see anything wrong with dog fighting or making money off films of dogs fighting then there's no point in continuing the argument. We'll just end up disagreeing endlessly.
