Redding, California – On September 21, 2009, James Garland was banned from the Redding Record Searchlight Newspaper of Redding, California.
What cowards do while hiding behind phony user names.
Instead of banning the poster with multiple user names RS bans the poster that has been stalked, harassed, libeled, slandered and intimidated by other posters for over nine months over an opinion and point of view.
We are all-equal and have the same right to post opinions. Just because we do not always agree with those opinions, does not make one opinion superior over another’s. Nowhere does it say in the RS user agreement that one has to be qualified in order to post opinions.
After all the is America and as Americans that qualifies everyone the right to FREE SPEECH, and no where in the US Constitution does it say people have to be qualified to have an opinion or qualified to post opinions on a local newspapers comment board using anonymous user name(s).
A local Redding Business owner is the leader of posters who has multiple user name accounts for no other purpose in mind but MALICIOUS intentions to try and defame me.
This is discrimination and needs to be stopped and the parties responsible need to be held accountable in a court of law. I have the right to free speech and not be harassed, stalked, libeled, slandered and intimidated for an opinion or a point of view and so do YOU.
Freedom of Speech!
What is the point in having freedom of speech, when it can be taken away? When a businesswoman has more power and influence over the comment section in a local newspaper, than the editor does.
Because the businessperson in the community buys ad space from the very same newspaper that has a comment section where comments are made about news stories written by the newspapers reporters. Money does talk as they say and is the root to all-evil.
When a businessperson is allowed to stalk, harass, libel, slander and intimidate another poster over an opinion and a point of view of the right to a fair trail. The businesswoman having multiple user names and accounts with no other purpose in mind, but MALICIOUS intentions to try and defame and post information about another poster, out of hate and loathing for the poster, as if the poster is the one that committed the crime of killing an innocent homeless man.
“The Internet offers new opportunities for stalking, hence the term cyber stalking. The cyber stalker can, from the safety of his or her home, or the anonymity of an office environment, trace, track and find out personal details of the target, including details of the target's family.”
If anyone wanted to find out anything about the personal life of this poster, all they would have had to do is a web search. Instead the posters personal information was searched and posted falsely, and misrepresented by the use of multiple user names to try and stalk, harass, libel, slander and intimidate the poster. The same way a thug, animal or gang member would use to try and harass their victims.
The poster was their target to try and control his opinions and point of view, through their stalking, harassing, libeling, slandering and intimidating of the poster, (the same way cyber bullies do to their victims or prey when they do not like what they say or do.)
Where the poster was accused of “Guilt by Association”, and falsely accused by this businesswoman and her gang of ruthless supporters, for standing up for these teens to have a right to get a fair trail, not one by vigilantes or vigilante justice.
The poster did not know the homeless man Tim Alcorn, nor did he know the three teens Albert Curtis Sanchez, Jared Cory Voss or John Hadley Thompson who are being accused of this crime.
The poster stated he did not condone what they did. This is the United States of America where people are given the chance to prove their innocence by due process of the laws and judged by a jury of their peers when tried as adults.
We are a civilized country, not a country that approves of or condones vigilante justice. The poster was sadden and sickened by the senseless act and killing of Tim Alcorn and the loss felt by his family and friends as any one else; but the poster feels we are all entitled to our day in court, “guilty” or “innocent” in this Country. Cases are not tried according to pubic pressure or community demand. They are tried according to the rule law. We may not like those laws or how they are applied.
No one has the right to stalk, harass, libel, slander and intimidate another person over his or her opinion or point of view. A private citizen's reputation and privacy interests tend to outweigh free speech considerations and deserve greater protection from the courts and a newspaper is responsible for up holding those same rights.
