Mo. begins prosecuting under cyberbullying law

He said kids used to say things face to face or pass notes in school commenting on someone's looks or weight. The new law "criminalizes behavior that otherwise wouldn't be illegal except for the medium," he said.

"It's not criminal. It might be mean-spirited, but it's not criminal," he said.


There are already libel laws. To treat electronic expression differently than any other is unconstitutional and just plain dumb. This is why we need to burn the south again.


I guess if you pass law school and can't get a real job, public prosecutor is the swamp what will take you in, in Missouri. St. Charles County Prosecutor Jack Banas is typical of this.
