seriously, this guy is such bullshit. he's all the way up in front of SCOTUS and people are calling this the "are rap lyrics threats" case

his "rap lyrics" are like all derived from eminem BECAUSE OF COURSE

one of the worst facebook posts he got convicted on isn't actually a "rap," it's just the words to a whitest kids u know sketch

(yes, seriously). it's a sketch about killing the president, but with "the president" swapped out for "my wife"

meanwhile there have been a number of black men convicted using their (actual, real, set-to-music) rap lyrics as evidence

see, for example, this particularly outrageous case against a rapper who *didn't even do anything* http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/dec/03/tiny-doo-rapper-facing-life-for-making-album …

he literally got charged because he 1) rapped about doing crimes, 2) is a gang member. ergo conspiracy!

but he's not in front of the supreme court.

the "rap" case in front of the supreme court is this shitty white ex-husband who never expressed interest in rap until his wife left

he wrote facebook posts like: "I’m not going to rest until your body is a mess, soaked in blood and dying from all the little cuts."

and "Hurry up and die, bitch, so I can bust this nut all over your corpse from atop your shallow grave."

but that's not what got him in trouble. he was only arrested and charged after some FBI agents came to question him.

he sent them away and then the next thing this idiot does is write a facebook post about how he's going to kill the FBI agents

so Elonis is a perfect encapsulation of many of 2014's themes:

1) white men are bullshit 2) no one cares about women 3) you can threaten anyone on the internet except cops

HAPPY NEW YEAR love, sarah
