so i just glanced at nandi's account and she dropped a return tune on dave
Thx. Too funny.
For the record...I hate kids on the internet as a rule...but her personality and musical ability, mixing it up with Dave Grohl (who feels like the friend next door who brings you a beer and sits to talk while you're grilling), is good clean fun.

So this started by running into a post about Dave Grohl, which lead me to this video of his New Song? Come back to this after then next line... Scroll this twitter account...and not only watch the Grohl stuff....but all the videos in general. Pretty impressive.
EDIT: August 17 Foo Fighters post of hers is what started the conversation between them.

Wow, I wish I knew how to feel about this. I agree the guy is scary as hell, but why? Just because he posts some incredibly ugly things? Does that mean he should be in jail? Isn't that a clear 1st amendment violation? Does the guy have a record? A history of actual violence? Or is he just a loud-mouth racist? This is where the rubber meets the road. Do I loathe hate speech? With all my being. Am I ready to compromise my freedom of speech to jail those who say things I loathe? No.
The charge is making threats, which should only stick if the threats were credible ("I'm going to de-orbit the moon and land it on your bicycle!" wouldn't count, for instance).
From looking at the tweets in the article I doubt they've got a case—he sounds like any number of trolls on Twitter or (((shudder))) YouTube comments. They might be grounds for involuntary commitment to psychiatric care, especially if they can get corroborating testimony from real-live encounters.
If it had been an ordinary citizen making the complaints I doubt law enforcement would have sprung into action. The Brady Campaign has a bit more pull than most people.
Depends on how high the 'credible' bar is. I'd say that owning a gun and making threats about shooting people meets the definition of credible. With great power comes great responsibility.
