YouTube rappers arrested
Friday, November 27, 2009 at 1:47AM YouTube rappers charged with threatening police, New Bedford probation officer:
Police in New Bedford, Mass. arrested 24-year-old Matthew Rufino and 28-year-old Jason Foley for posting their rap on YouTube that threatened local police and a probation officer which I'm going to assume was one of theirs.
The four-minute video was posted to YouTube on Nov. 1 and has been watched about 2,000 times. Called “WATCH 4 ME,” it includes members of the rap group bragging about making America’s Most Wanted, images of smashed police cars, warnings of violence against police and derogatory statements made about police. Background noises include sirens and gunshots.
Cry free speech all you want but public threats aren't a protected form of speech.
