Primate rebuffed on sexual free-speech argument

Turns out that no matter how much Frank Gagliardi and his lawyers complain that a law which allows police to act as children online in order to conduct "internet predator stings" is "just mean and like so unfair"... a federal appeals court said that "First Amendment provides no refuge for such criminals."

Ha. Take that you sick little monkeys.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan noted that its findings were in line with similar decisions by six other appeals panels across the country that it said had "squarely rejected" the same arguments for "sound reasons."

The unanimous three-judge panel's decision came in the case of a man who appealed his conviction on one count of attempting to entice a child to engage in prohibited sexual activity.

Lawyers for Frank Gagliardi had argued that the law used to convict him required an actual child victim and that it was unconstitutionally vague and overbroad.

The 2nd Circuit panel said in U.S. v. Gagliardi that requiring law enforcement officers to use an actual child as a decoy would significantly impede legitimate enforcement of the law and it was not necessary because the language of the law is clear that it is not required.

The appeals court also rejected his argument that the law "impermissibly suppresses fantasy speech with adults who happen to be posing as minors."

The court said it had already concluded in previous cases that speech is not protected by the First Amendment when it is the "very vehicle of the crime itself."

Bad primate... bad primate. How's this for a "right", you have the "right" to be a pervert... and we have the right to jail you for acting like one.

The rally is being formed in order to counter a rally being held by sexual offenders in Ohio who are fighting against Ohio Bill 10, which will make significant changes to the SOR laws,

For a shortened list of the changes, please see this page - http://www.lbo.state.oh.us/fiscal/fiscalnotes/127ga/SB0010HR.htm

As mentioned this rally is being held to counter a rally by sexual offenders which is being planned to demonstrate against Senate Bill 10. And, as those who know me know- I personally believe that due to their crimes- they are entitled to lose a bit of their freedoms, in order to ensure that our families and friends aren't losing theirs. It is important that if you are able to attend, you plan on doing so. If you are not, please consider sharing this with your family, friends and co workers. It's time that those of us in the position to, take a stand for victims, and demand that our leaders not only follow through on this, but continue to make improvements in the future.

The "Silent No More" rally information included in the following email is being sent all over the US, and posted on many websites, in hopes that sexual offenders, and their families will rally against the Bill- making a strong enough impact to prevent these measures from going through. This would be the rally that we hope to counter with our own supporters of the Bill.

If you are not able to attend, but would like further information or would like to contact your representatives to show your support for this Bill, please feel free to contact me, and I'll answer any questions you might have.

My fellow American Citizens:

Over the past few years, Registered Sex Offenders (RSOs) have had more and more of their basic human rights and freedoms taken from them. It doesn't appear that this process will stop any time soon. Recently, Ohio passed Senate Bill 10. If you haven't yet received your notification from Attorney General Mark Dann's office indicating your "tier" level, it's on its way. If you are at present classified as a low-level sex offender in Ohio, your new level under Senate Bill 10 could put you at a higher risk level, up to and including "Predator" or Level 3. This bill is going to seriously and negatively affect many Registered Sex Offenders and their families. Some RSOs, including people with a year or less left on their sentences, will have their registration requirements extended by this bill. For others, lifetime registration will become a reality. On December 1, 2007, Soclear Media Productions will sponsor an educational forum at the Statehouse in Columbus, beginning at 11:00 a.m. Registered Sex Offenders and their families are urged to attend this peaceful assembly. We want to show our legislators that we strongly support the rehabilitation of RSOs, and their reintegration into society as law-abiding, contributing members. Plan to attend and spend the day with us, as we endeavor to educate the public by replacing myth and gossip with truth and fact. This is our opportunity to show legislators and the public-at-large that constitutional protections and laws must apply equally to everyone. Fair and just legislation will do far more to ensure the safety of our country's children than this overly broad and repressive law. For more information about the rally, please contact:
