Quote:1. Anyone who wants to sell Usama bin Ladin statuettes near Ground Zero in the USA would be allowed to as soon as soon as he got the proper tax and vending permits. It is called FREEDOM of SPEECH/EXPRESSION and is guarenteed under out Constitution. Anyone who attacked him would be a criminal. It wold be in poor taste, but it would be legal.Not a chance. (changed to) IMHO. There would be a near riot by at least members of the general public, and the guy's license would be revoked under any public safety legislation that every and any prosecutor in New York could find.
Within 24 hours his operation would be ostensibly shut down (if he was still in one piece) and then the litigation could start. But at least he would have been shut down in the meantime.
There's a difference between freedom of speech in principal and practice. To prove it, go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lMVWRcrRkY
Those guys in the video didn't even write anything religious on the cars, nor referenced 9/11.
