On Wednesday morning, Sheriff Troy E. Nehls of Fort Bend County, Texas, posted a picture of the back of a truck asking members of the community to help him find the offender.

I have received numerous calls regarding the offensive display on this truck as it is often seen along FM 359. If you know who owns this truck or it is yours, I would like to discuss it with you, he said.
Nehls apparently already sought to impose punishment, adding, Our Prosecutor has informed us she would accept Disorderly Conduct charges regarding it, but I feel we could come to an agreement regarding a modification to it.
He also posted a picture in the comments of legal code concerning disorderly conduct, apparently attempting to justify his attempt to suppress free speech by suggesting the truck driver was instigating a breach of the peace.
The statute, Sec. 42.01, says a person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly uses abusive, indecent, profane or vulgar language, and the language by its very utterance tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace, or if it makes an offensive gesture of display in a public place, and the gesture or display tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace.

Attempting to cite this statute suggests Trump supporters could be so triggered by free speech about the president they might incite violence, a particularly hilarious notion considering the right has spent months virtue signaling about the first amendment and scolding leftists for being violent snowflakes.
And the Internet responded swiftly as thousands of commenters flowed in offering relentless trolling, thoughtful defenses of free speech, and cutting rebukes of partisan hypocrisy. The trolls were numerous:








Other commenters were straightforward and to the point, citing previous court decisions and defenses of free speech:

Still others tackled partisan hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance:


Some commenters defended the sheriff and received immediate responses:

A couple pointed out the fact that people actually called the police because they were so offended:

The truck driver also received an offer from a lawyer and former prosecutor for free legal assistance:

The ACLU of Texas also chimed in:
Sheriff Troy E. Nehls, Constitutional Law 101: You cant ban speech just because it has f@ck in it.
Hey truck owner, feel free to contact the ACLU of Texas.

The thing that Gatlin is laughing about is that she was arrested on a felony warrant charge.
Fort Bend County Sheriffs Office records show Karen Fonseca was arrested about 2 p.m. Thursday
on an outstanding fraud warrant issued in August by the Rosenberg Police Department.
The Mushot of Karen Fonseca.

It also proves that anti-Trumpers have never been known for displaying any degree of intelligence.

That MAY be protected speech,but I doubt it. There are still obscenity laws on the books in many places.
Regardless of it is is legal,illegal,or borderline,it IS a classless thing to do because that's not saying something in anger once and then leaving it alone,it is virtually shouting it at everyone who sees the truck.

Is that a political statement,or a call for sexual assault?
Can you begin to imagine the screams of outrage if someone had "Fuck Hillary!" in the rear window of their truck? Whymen libbers heads would be exploding.

I think you're waaay overreacting. Yes, really.
I've probably posted just as many articles as you, about how the socialists are trying to ruin our republic. Get off your soapbox when you reply to me...

Yes, you'd laugh here.
In real life I'd bet your pension that it'd be a much different story.
IF you or especially your wife/family were targeted with these obscenities -- either via the signage OR from car-window, your reaction would be waaay more different.
UNLESS you're telling us that that at a traffic light or elsewhere that were some broad or guy to open a window and shout out, "EFF YOU, B*TCH!," that you're letting THAT go?

Exactly.
Imagine the kvetching, b*tching and moaning were THAT the case. OR, 0bama was targeting with the very same "EFF 0BAMA!" vehicle signage.
(btw, remember how those several folks who dug out 0bama's student loan data were summarily arrested?? When in positions of power, Dems abuse it, having a hyper-emotional hair-triggers when THEY are "insulted," investigated, busted, and ridiculed otherwise.)

Why can't the Bull-Dyke's proud and public display be construed as "Encouragement of sexual assault" as well as a "Hate Crime," Hate Speech," Incitement of "sexual assault," Incitement of Violence, and a few other legit charges?

Exactly.
The double-standard and hypocrisy of the Left as well as Anarchists is again on display and exposed in this case.
What I've noticed from the Dem-Antifa-Anarchist Left is that LEADING the hate, hostility, and violence is Hillary's "The Resistance" -- comprised of malcontent Queers, Dykes, and Society's Misfits and Losers.
Gotta feeling the test case is only the beginning. They (and the Dems' GOPe-cousins ) are HOPING that this disgusting display becomes epidemic. Call it the "Kaepernick Phenomena."
In this seemingly single inconsequential gesture, the Dem-Antifa-Anarchists are in the process of challenging laws and standards of respect and behavior that have stood the constitutional test of time. Their long End Game is clearly Divide & Conquer, and creating legal and social chaos.
Antifa and Dems have always pushed the boundaries of "Fighting Words." They need their collective clocks cleaned. Backing them up AS ALWAYS is the ACLU and SPLC.

This legal double standard of speech and deed (including 'Affirmative Action,' select 'Hate Speech/Hate Crime Laws' and unequal protections and license needs once and for all to go to the Supreme Court for remediation (OR be left to the States.)

That you can't remember it says quite a bit about the control and manipulation of the news by a colluding/bought MSM, as well as the burying of data and its aftermath.

I disagree. That title is shared by the alleged Republican and Democratic Parties.
Even Mark Twain took notice back in the 1800's that "America is safe now. Congress is in recess." When a political system is completely corrupt and working counter to their sworn oaths,WHY do we blame the people that blackmail or bribe the politicians,when it is the politicians are the ones who live where "the rubber meets the road"?

I concur. BOTH Parties are now so corrupt, collusive, social anarchists and Global-Firsters that many of us have been calling for a Third Party America-First, Common Sense party.
And it sez volumes that BOTH parties and leaders (like Mitch McConnell, Ryan, and certain generals and Deep State rebels) are STILL trying to undermine and oust Donald Trump.

No. Look up "fighting words". In law "fighting words" are not to be taken lightly. It is not just a matter of shouting "fire" in a theater that serves the purpose for this doctrine but the use of language against a President that serves to incite civil disorder and/or unrest.

Yet some people STILL wonder how a outsider like Trump got elected as President over the objections of ALL the party regulars of both branches of our ruling party.
He got elected because voters WANTED a outsider in the WH to start throwing a few political bombs to harm the status quo.
