Judge Sentences Woman to Verbosity

Judge Bans Woman From Twitter

How to lose your First Amendment rights:

A suburban Philadelphia woman has been banned from using Twitter as part of her sentence for a stalking conviction.

Montgomery County Judge William Carpenter barred 34-year-old Sadiyyah Young of Pottstown from tweeting for at least five years.

Authorities say Young used derogatory and harassing tweets against people involved in a custody case regarding her children, including a judge who ruled against her, lawyers, social workers and foster parents.

The month long battle included a tweet that read, in part: “Somebody should pay all these people a visit, bust out windows and cut tires!

She also got sentenced to a year in jail. There are some behaviors that cannot be justified in the name of free speech.

Hat tip to Stacy McCain.
