On Tuesday, the Twitter account of famed attorney L. Lin Wood, who has represented Richard Jewell, Nicholas Sandmann, Mark and Patricia McCloskey, and now Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old charged with fatally shooting two people in Kenosha, was locked for supposedly violating Twitter’s terms of service. Wood had already posted about raising money for Rittenhouse’s legal defense.
Wood, furious, told Fox News that he intended to sue Twitter and its CEO Jack Dorsey, asserting, “I’m going to take Jack Dorsey’s ass down. He has been abusing the First Amendment of this country for his own agenda.”
Wood stated that his account was locked for “glorifying violence.” He continued, “I knew they were going to censor me because I’m sending a message of hope. I’m sending a message of truth. And I’m sending a message that Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent.”
Jack Dorsey and their ilk require a punch to the mouth for every infraction of Constitutional infringement they have committed.
Unfortunately, they are surrounded by lawyers and psychophants who believe they are above the law and untouchable. What they don’t realize is that the mobs they cater to and steer will turn on them without mercy and with bloodlust, ready to rip them limb from limb if these rules were to be applied to them.
Then the Dorsey’s of this world will be appealing to the conservative crowd to come and protect them.
I hope and pray that Wood mounts a tidal wave of support to swing with destructive and resolute force.
Watching Dorsey getting bitch slapped is the best thing to happen in quite a while. I wonder if Zuckerberg will wise up or if he will need a good slap down as well?
I long for the day that Twitter is made to pay monetary damages for its worldwide impact to people who have committed no crime, but crossed invisible lines which only the Twits knew about.
Until then it’s back to their ass-covering excuses for ever.
Eventually you p*ss off the wrong people. Or is that the right people?
That movie about Richard Jewell was a pretty good show. Eye opening.
Kind of what happens in a communist tyranny as opposed to a constitutional republic. Where the hell has everyone been hiding? Intellectually and morally the people of the world are bankrupt. Canadians are really done.
owg,
As the world spirals down to it’s self imposed destruction, thoughts of Sodom and Gomorrah come to mind!
And dammit, I’m an atheist!

Foolish grandstanding. There is no First Amendment or Constitutional issue here – Twitter is a private company and it is not bound by the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights constrains government power.
At best, he might be able to sue under claims of breach of contract given that Twitter may have violated their own terms of service, but since he didn’t pay anything for his Twitter account he’s unlikely to get anywhere since there are no damages.
Maybe he’s planning to sue on defamation grounds, but since Twitter only sent the “glorifying violence” message to him, again no damages.
There’s no Constitutional right to use other people’s computers for free. Even a lawyer should know that.
Like I said, Internet has been monopolized by a handful of criminals. Congratulations, sleepwalkers!
Even this blog’s owner keeps enriching Google. No integrity anywhere.
“Foolish grandstanding.”
Yup, your right. Its the kind of grandstanding that got the ” Sandland kid” mega millions.
