GOING TOO FAR

The internet and news medias are in meltdown mode over a picture of comedian Kathy Griffin holding the severed head of President Donald Trump. The picture is very disturbing with Griffin holding the head by the hair while blood pours down the face and drips to the floor. The photo was taken by controversial photograhper Tyler Shields and then posted by him. Even the main stream media, who are about as anti Trump as you can get, are pushing back on this one because of the disgusting nature and implications of the photo. Hours after the photo went viral, Griffin issued an apology saying in it she went too far. The top video is a news story discussing the photo and if Griffin broke any laws and the legal implications for the comedian. The lower video is Griffin apology. Watch both then let us know what you think. Do you think Griffin and the photo are protected under free speech? Do you believe Griffin’s apology is sincere?
(WARNING: the beheading photo is graphic and should not be viewed by 18 and younger)
