Earlier this month Cameron D'Ambrosio, an 18 year-old high school student from Methuen, MA was arrested for making terroristic threats - by posting offensive rap lyrics he'd written on Facebook.com. These lyrics referenced the Boston bombing and referred to the White House in a negative light. Still, as offensive as they were, the lyrics he posted are no more violent than mainstream rap lyrics kids his age are exposed to every day.
The government did not arrest the members of NWA when they referred to killing police officers in their music. Why? Because Americans still have freedom of expression - even if it's disagreeable and offensive.
But not in Mass, where a high school student is jailed on $1 million dollar bond and faces a 20 year prison sentence.
1ST AMENDMENT: RESTORE IT NOW.
