A judge should be disbarred for being so stupid. It is ridicules to think that ANY WORDS should make it ok to “drop” charges in an assault. You want to call my mother a #### or a #### or call me a ##### or a ######. No problem, I can walk away, now if you touch or imply physical harm to me or loved ones that’s a whole different thing. Where do we draw the line with such small thinking Ni**er, SMIB, Pollock, Jew, Assclown, Dork??????

Your honor he called me a DORK, and those was fighting words so I hit him. (Sounds kinda stupid) Well dork hurts no more than SMIB it’s just a word.

Hey, the judge exercised his discretion to say it was justified and dismissing the charges. By law he is allowed to do that. Can't be disbarred for that. Other judges have done more ridiculus things - see some of the 9th Circuits decisions for many examples.

When I drank it was a matter of taste. Some might argue that but I could taste a difference between the 10 Oz and the 12 Oz and others have indicated the same.

Thanks . Someone said they had it in Missouri also (where I'm from) and to think, all those years I was there, I was missin out.

Not much of a beer drinker anyway. I like a good rum and coke with an olive and ranch chaser (or a hard cider)

Maybe I'm missing the connection that you are trying to make. Though I can see a lawyer arguing the impact on the suspect as to the heckler's remarks in an effort to mitigate the act. But shooting someone and punching them are considerably different in level of assault. In most court cases for simple assault the facts that led up to the act are taken into account to determine what contributed to or caused the assault to take place. If they did the charge could be lessoned or dismissed. It's a straightforward process that makes sense.

SMIB – Southern Maryland In-Breds, is meant for nothing more then to denigrate, humiliate, and insult those that hold Southern Maryland as their heritage. It's no different then doing the same thing to any race or ethnicity. It is small-minded behavior of a bigoted nature. A type, that for the most part, is considered unacceptable.

This term isn't like hick, redneck, hillbilly or such, it implies incestuous relationships that are not only illegal but contrary to to the norms of our civil society. It implies genetic deformalities and abnormalities that are associated with such behavior. It's only intent is to emotionally harm.

While I was not born here, my first wife's (and therefor two of my children's) heritage is sown in Southern Maryland. I have many good friends that also share the area as their ancestorial home. They do not deserve to be called by such a despicable term and insulted in such fashion in any forum (written or spoken).

Maybe you can live with it if you were subjected to a similar cruelty, but should you, or anyone for that matter, have to?

Tell it to his family

Did he call him a SMIB in class?

Face it; Arguing that ANY WORD is a justification for violence is just STUPID.

To my knowledge no one has died after using the term. Has anyone died after using the "N" word in the wrong environment, probably. I don't know for sure.

I don't agree with killing anyone (well, okay, maybe I could agree on a couple), but I don't agree with intentionally injuring someone with a cruel insult either. I might (and usually do) respond in kind if subjected to one, but for me that is more reflexive than intentional and I've been working on changing that.

Why would you, or anyone, want to use a term such as this?

 

[Danzig]

So if I call you a SMIB, while seated at a bar with no intent of violence and you hit me your saying that’s OK. So then if I hit you back and kill you is that ok? Or is the judge supposed to say it’s my fault cause I had that first punch commin. You just don’t get it. Any time you get into a physical altercation in public ANYTHING can happen and innocent people could get hurt or killed, all cause someone called someone a SMIB. I can see the article in the St. Mary’s Today

SMIB proves he aint no SMIB by killing the guy who called him a SMIB.

The story would start with something like this.

I was sittin there with my sister and our kids when this fella walked over and called me a SMIB and I looked at him and said those was fightin words and I gots up and punched him real hard, he falls down and struck his head……..Next thing I know, He was dead.

When I see someone use the N word I just think to my self, there goes a dumb uneducated idiot. And think nothing more. Just do the same with SMIB

I never said it was alright. I have stated that I have witnessed charges being dropped because of the use of "fighting words".

The fact that you choose to ignore bigotry is your prerogative, maybe because you aren't the target of it and feel it isn't your problem. I would venture a bet that many feel doing so facilitates the act. I, on the other hand, choose to express my dislike for the use of it.

Well I think I said enough on this for now.

Have a good night and a merry Christmas.

Me too. I wish you and everyone out there a happy and safe holiday. Merry Christmas.

Ironically enough:

While SMIBs find the term SMIB to be as offensive as using the N word, it is those same people who are most likely to use the N word.

That is blatant BS. There are small minded bigoted types from all walks of life that use derrogatory terms. Just as you continue to do here.

Based on what I have observed I would say that the ones that use the "N" word the most are the very same ones that it is meant to insult. For some reason they don't consider the word to be insulting when they use it amongst themselves.

 

[justin anemone]

I was being somewhat facetious but you do make a good point and intelligently if I may say so myself.

But in asking out of curiosity I wonder if those same people are the ones who cant figure out why blacks call each other the n word but get mad when others do it. Are SMIBS the same way?
Ricidulous as it may sound "some of my best friends are smibs"and I mean that.

I have never heard it used in the same fashion as some African-Americans use the "N" word. There may be a handful that do it, anything is possible, but as far as I know it is not used as a term of endearment.

I too have many friends that descend from the original settlers, but I call them locals, being a transplant myself.

A sound philosphy if you ask me!

I'm too lazy to go through all these posts to see if someone already said this:

The rule of thumb on racial or ethnic slurs is those of us who love them or are them can say it. Everyone else better shut up.

So true
But KenKing takes a much more admarable step by proposing that we treat everyone with respect and thats really what counts.
