An Activist Judge Rules Teaching Children Random Violence Is Constitutional

This CNN article tells of a judge whom practices the ACLU philosophy that the republic form of government in the United States is best as long as the people do what far left say. In particul U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Kennelly believes that violent video games are a form of free speech and that the Illinois government has insignificant proof to interfere with such a practice.

The free speech argument has an obvious flaw in that the only thing the games could be doing is advocating is violence. In JFK Reloaded that means that it teaches the user to assassinate a President. When when teaching children these action it is called contributing to the delinquency of a minor. At least two of the games covered clearly violate Title 18 Part 1 Chapter 115 Section 2385 of the United States Legal Code which states.

Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or ….

Grand The Auto advocates teaches the shooting of police officers who are officers of the government and JFK Reloaded which teaches shooting a President of the United States who is also an officer of the government. Video games are a teaching tool.

The state law codes about contributing to the delinquency of a minor and the federal law code forbidding the overthrow of the government obviously contradict this activist judge when he states the following.

"In this country, the state lacks the authority to ban protected speech on the ground that it affects the listener's or observer's thoughts and attitudes," the judge wrote.

He also needs to read Roe v. Wade which states that for reason of health the government has the right to restrict the rights of its citizens. The General Welfare, Domestic Tranquility and Justice clauses of the Constitution all give the government the right to restrict speech.
