Not sure that this is the best idea

Similar thoughts, not on the arrest, which is ridiculous, but on the substance of the text to the legislator:
Stancil makes an important point. The underlying speech (including a cartoon penis) was, well, a penis move. If the state senator had published the text messages and made fun of Byrnes, the equities would be very different. But the government overreaction is now the story.
Nothing Byrnes did was bigoted, and I think it’s good that the public focuses on the government overreaction. But there’s a huge difference between saying that the government shouldn’t punish speech and saying that the message of the speech is a good one.
On the same topic, this may not be the most intricate of tool sets (I’m a horrible judge of that), but my late-FIL left us this awesome (to me) ratchet set. I don’t use it very often, but when I do, I’m super glad to have it.
