To hide from his crimes:
SIEM REAP, Cambodia (July 12, 2007) — Michael Richards has retreated to the mountains of Cambodia, following an incident in November in which he angrily shouted racial slurs at heckling clubgoers during a comedy routine.
Michael Richards is now in hiding. Hiding from justice as our enlightened and thoughtful media has defined it.
And now we have Dog the Human Trafficker trying to apologize for his violation of the First Amendment.
“I thought that I was cool enough in the black world to be able to use that word as a brother to a brother. I’m not. I didn’t really know until three or four days ago what that meant to black people,” Chapman said during an interview on Fox News’ Tuesday night broadcast of Hannity & Colmes.
“I now learned I’m not black at all. And I never did it out of hate. This sounds so stupid. I always did it out of love. Other white guys would be like, ‘Boy, who does Dog think he is?… And black guys would be with me and walk with me and respect me… I will try never, ever, ever to use that word again…. I did not ever want to be in the hot seat as I am right now, the hottest seat I’ve been in, because I’m always in the hot seat anyway.” Source: http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/dog-bounty-hunter-star-i-will-try-never-use-that-word-again-6059.php
Well now, isn’t this cute? People thinking they can apologize their way out of a speech crime?
Well, we will not accept this apology. We must be ardent in our support of free speech, and in order to preserve the freeness of speech there must be no forgiveness for non-free speech.
It’s like the time Godzilla fought Ghidorah. Ghidorah offended the world when he was employed by the Kilaaks in their quest to take over the world in Destroy All Monsters. Godzilla did not accept Ghidorah’s apology. Especially after Ghidorah tried to kill Anguris by stomping on him.
Godzilla knew, like I your most brilliant blogger know, that when someone tries to kill Anguris that you must fight until your last breath to vanquish your enemy. Dog the human trafficker tried to kill Anguris. And Godzilla would never tolerate that.
Would you? Are you the good German? Or are you the bad Slovakian?

This time the First Amendment has been violated by human trafficker Dog the Bounty Hunter. In a voice mail message, Dog used the forbidden word six times in reference to his son’s girlfriend who happens to be African American. Dog, who is not African American and therefore cannot use the forbidden word, has issued an apology, which does seem heartfelt. Also, some might argue that Dog’s comments are distinguishable from the first amendment violations by Michael Richards and Don Imus because this was meant to be a private communication whereas the former comments were made publicly.
I say to you, that the fact that Dog’s comments were made in private does not excuse this crime against humanity. We live in a society which guarantees free speech. However free speech does not give one free reign to say whatever he wants. Free speech is not free when it has costs. Dog’s comments have a steep cost. Dog’s speech carries the cost of offensiveness, and because the speech carries cost, it is not free speech. Because Dog has made speech that is not free, Dog has violated the First Amendment and should be imprisoned for his speech crime.
The First Amendment is crucial to the liberties we enjoy in this country and it must be protected jealously. However, our government shirks its duty to ensure the Freeness of speech. Only our champion speech, the Reverend Sharpton is waging this just battle to preserve the Freeness of speech.
Some are calling for Dog’s firing, as it is a fundamental right to have people fired for offending other people. But I say to you that is not enough. We must ensure the freeness of speech by imprisoning those who would make non-free speech.
It’s like that time in Godzilla vs. Megalon, when the people of Seatopia decided to protest the rest of the world’s use of
nuclear testing. You see, the Seatopians lived underwater. And nuclear testing occured in the oceans. The Seatopians, in order to protest this testing, used Megalon. Megalon was rather unattractive, and looked like a giant cockroach with pointy arms. This form of protest was offensive, and therefore the Seatopians violated the First Amendment. Godzilla, much like Al Sharpton does today, championed the cause of free speech and killed Megalon. But not even Al Sharpton has the political will to kill Dog the Human Trafficker, much less Megalon.
Sadly, our resolve to protect the freeness of speech is lacking in this day and age. Where have you gone, Godzilla?
