"Ten ways to get away with rape" flier found posted in Miami Ohio bathroom

<p>Here’s an updated article <a href=“Cincinnati News, Sports and Things to Do | Cincinnati Enquirer”>Cincinnati News, Sports and Things to Do | Cincinnati Enquirer; with specific commentary about free speech

But could it be considered protected speech?</p>

<p>A national First Amendment expert said it is. Butler County Prosecutor Mike Gmoser disagrees.</p>

<p>He said he had his staff research Supreme Court opinions on the issue.</p>

<p>“I’ve concluded it’s not protected speech at this juncture,” Gmoser said Tuesday…
“You have an issue involving words on paper and especially when you compare and contrast that with some of the stuff that’s on the internet floating around out there,” Gmoser said. “How does this square with other people’s use of the airwaves and news media and print and speech to say some pretty scurrilous things without consequence?”

<p>“It would be very difficult to prosecute anyone for distributing a flier like this,” Ken Paulson, president of the First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University, said after viewing the flier in an email from The Enquirer.</p>

<p>“The list is both sophomoric and moronic but a lot of sophomoric and moronic things are protected under the First Amendment. There are bomb-making plans on the Internet. There are hateful sites all over. No one is going to be sympathetic to the people who put this list together. It’s deeply offensive but the government has to play by the rules.”</p>

There is more, so to avoid quoting too much here, I’d recommend posters read the article. There is no mention in this article of the hallway vandalism that was mentioned in another article.</p>

<p>As for soccerguy’s broad sweeping comments about men being harassed and cops called on playgrounds… I cannot find any news articles as he claims. And since he appears to be a grad student the same age as one of my kids, I wonder how much, if any, experience he has had with small kids and playgrounds that would warrrant what appears to be hyperbole.</p>
