i never agreed that they jail people for exercising free speech. that's not how this works.

[-] UFO64@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Are you claiming no appeals court had ever ruled someone was exercising free speech after a lower court jailed them? Lol

[-] dmmeyournudes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

you're using the world jailed to mean arrested or charged, that's now what we are talking about. anyone can be put in jail for no reason for 24 hours. that doesn't mean much.

[-] UFO64@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

You can be sentenced and appeal from jail stranger. You don’t just sit free if you have an appeal. It’s extremely situational.

[-] dmmeyournudes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

yes, that's the point of the system.

Says the person jumping in to agree aggressively

[-] dmmeyournudes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

you're not contributing, you're acting like the courts make the entire thing invalid.

[-] UFO64@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

No, I am demonstrating that the argument doesn’t hold water on even first order inspection. And you seem to be upset that you don’t understand that.

Kindly stop wasting my time and go away.
