  There is a lot of difference between hate speech (calling for murder and rape) and free speech. In any civilized country those trio would have spent years behind bars

  If there is no free lunch, how could there be free speech. Free speech implies "wo kasa keke". The only free thing, which is a constant is free breath. Crying, pooping, peeping, sucking breast, and every other thing is at a c ...

  Freedom of speech does not include the right to state your intention to murder public officials or rape them, or to do the same to ordinary citizens either. As a matter of fact, I believe that if you express your intention to murder me, I then have the right to kill you on sight. That would be the right of self defense.

  The issue is Mahama lacks the morals for it to be even considered as strong and this action has farther doomed his highly incompetent, corrupt and clueless Presidency as the worst in the annals of the history of governance and leadership in this country.
  The maximum sentence for the sickening and disgusting comments of the Montie 3, was they said, about three years.
  The Supreme Court on conviction based on their own guilt and plea for mercy, sentenced them to a 4 months jail term and a fine. So it was not like the Supreme Court was not reasonable and compassionate in the application of the law based on the gravity of the offense. In fact we can say, the Court was very lenient.
  The 4 months sentence was a teachable moment for Mahama, that as a leader who is supposed to be responsible, if members of your party are messing up, threatening all sorts of nonsense and depravity in this country, as a responsible leader, you should have the presence of mind to put a stop to that kind of irresponsibility. And with a much stronger sentence, the message will be driven home based on the very contumacious comments demeaning the very dignity of womanhood, the Chief Justice, the Judiciary, the rule of law and our democracy with the intent to intimidate, cower and instill fear in the Court, to rule on a matter you felt would go against you in an election. If that is not soft, subtle dictatorship then one does not know what it is.
  Then you take the reckless and nonsensical decision to release these miscreants in a whimsical and capricious manner and you expect to be respected in this country? The question is what are you smoking?
  Politics has not made us animals and savages in this country. The values, traditions and beliefs that we share have not been lost because of politics and when I see a grown man, taking a decision to free able-bodied men who threaten to rape the first female Chief Justice of this country and kill her, everything within me, everything I have learnt, everything I have been exposed to, everything I have been taught, everything I have experienced finds such a decision and such an individual, revolting. I have no respect for any such person, no respect but outright dIsgust. That is ill-mannered, uncivilized, indecent and irresponsible conduct and action that will never ever sit well with me, because I am the Son of my mother.

  People are hiding behind the law to encourage lawlessness. What the Montie 3 did was to indulge in hate speech. Why should their incarceration threaten anybody from freely expressing a view, unless free speech includes insults and threat of life. If Rev Anyani Boadum has nothing to contribute I think he should shut up and not create the unfortunate impression that his sympathies are with the Montie 3 and the Prez infamous remission of their sentences. Is the Rev happy with the degeneration of law, order, respect and values of our country. Is he happy that by the Prez singular act, villains have been turned into heroes who are going to be roll models and mentors for some? We should stop being hypocritical and be serious with our nation building

  What about those who said GAs and EWEs should be killed? is it a hate speech or love speech ? Are the judges more important that than these people?
