In America? Rapper charged with terrorism over controversial lyrics critical of police
April 28, 2019

America is no longer America: Freedom of speech has been taken away.

Rapper Mayhem Mal from the group Ghetto Superstar Committee has been charged with “terrorism” after the group uploaded a song titled Fuck the Police to both YouTube and Facebook which apparently constitutes a “true threat,” according to new federal legal terminology.

The bombshell news posted by the Rutherford Institue on Wednesday reveals the actual nature and intent of those at the top of this so-called free country who truly pull the strings of all Americans.

A segment of the shocking report reads:

By refusing to hear the case of rapper Jamal Knox (a.k.a. “Mayhem Mal”), who was charged with making terroristic threats after posting a song critical of police on Facebook and YouTube, the U.S. Supreme Court has approved the government’s expansion of the definition of “true threats.” In asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case, The Rutherford Institute in conjunction with CATO Institute, had argued that allowing the government to expand its definition of what constitutes a “true threat” could have significant chilling effects on online communications and controversial art forms, including expressive activity shared through social media such as Facebook and YouTube, particularly in an age when the government engages in unprecedented monitoring of new and ever-changing forms of expression, online and otherwise.
“Instead of targeting terrorists engaged in true threats, the government has turned ordinary citizens into potential terrorists, so that if we dare say the wrong thing in a phone call, letter, email or on the internet, especially social media, we end up investigated, charged and possibly jailed,” said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of Battlefield America: The War on the American People. “This criminalization of free speech, which is exactly what the government’s prosecution of those who say the ‘wrong’ thing using an electronic medium amounts to, is at the heart of every case that wrestles with where the government can draw the line when it comes to expressive speech that is protected as opposed to speech that could be interpreted as connoting a criminal intent.”
Despite the fact that the old school rap group N.W.A. featuring Eazy-E and Dr. Dre released a song with a similar title (Fuck tha Police) back in 1988, Americans in the year 2019 are not granted the same privileges, according to the new ruling.
That’s right folks, we no longer live in a free society and things are getting worse.
The fact is, freedom of speech is not a “true threat” to anything. However, the Democrats and the deep state see it as such because they themselves do not want to be exposed for their dirty doings.

因唱“殺了警察” 被判刑,眾rapper 聲討“這是說唱界的文字獄”
2019.03.10

“你要是真信我是警察殺手,那David Bowie 還是宇航員呢。” 

據紐約時報報導,週三,Chance the Rapper、21 Savage、Meek Mill等說唱界OG聯合向最高法院提交了一份  報告,試圖幫因在歌詞中寫“殺了警察”,而被判入獄兩年的說唱歌手Mayhem Mal翻案。rapper們表示,這簡直就是當代“文字獄”,“最高法庭根本不懂音樂,尤其不懂說唱音樂”,他們甚至向最高法院解釋“到底啥是diss track”。

這事兒還要從2012年說起,那時Mayhem Mal因持有槍支毒品罪被逮捕,隨後他便錄製了一首歌曲,其名曰  《去他媽的警察》(Fuck the Police),向三十年前說唱歌手NWA的同名單曲致敬。歌中寫道:“讓我們殺了這幫警察,因為他們不會帶來任何好事”。這首歌在YouTube和Facebook上發布後,Mayhem Mal被指控發布恐怖主義威脅、恐嚇證人,於2014年被判入獄兩年。

週三,黑人饒舌界齊聚一堂,為了給Mayhem Mal 翻案,他們給最高法院的法官們來了一rap 文化速成課。rapper 們解釋說,rap 的歌詞不能從字面理解。比如NWA《去他媽的警察》裡有一種力量,“它擊打著社會邊緣人群的神經,因為只有在這樣虛構的歌詞裡,他們才能找到所謂的公正”。他們還指出,音樂類型中存在著偏見的鄙視鏈,鄉村音樂里也常有性和毒品,你們咋不針對鄉村樂?
