      Liberals who ostensibly decry mass incarceration cheer expanded criminalization schemes, leading to more incarceration: a multi-part saga.

          you're making something political that is universal: intentionally harming someone is a crime. Or you personally hate Kurt

          As if it should be glaringly obvious which statute "tweeting gifs" is meant to violate.

          I really like your work, Michael, but your way off on this. I have a kid with epilepsy and this is violence, not protected speech.

          It's a case based on narrow facts, including expressed intent to harm a known epileptic. No free speech implications, no precedent.

          Michael... if you punch someone in the face... that would be an offense, right?. same thing with _willfully_ triggering a seizure.

          This is the wrong take. Mass incarceration has only impacted communities of color, internet stalkers are overwhelmingly White.

          The charge is based on ignorance of science and Kurt's record of lying will be front and center at trial.
