I was listening to talk radio today. The host said a criminal was in contempt of society. What does that mean?

Contempt of society means that the criminal was not following the rules and laws of government.

Actually, I heard on talk radio today that the term "RACIST" is the money word.  \n\nAnyone wanting something they have not earned screams "racist".\n\nAnyone who needs a few extra dollars, sues because of "racism".\n\nAnyone who has no argument for why they are breaking the law, yells "racist".\n\nAnyone who is caught stealing identities cries "racist".\n\nBasically it pretty much used when an individual or group is doing something which is morally or legally wrong.

It means that someone in the courtroom (a lawyer or defendant, for example) is doing something which was specifically forbidden by the judge.  This can be as simple as yelling in the courtroom, or it can be as complex as refusing to act as a witness at trial.

Frankly, I've never heard that term and I've worked in both education and law enforcement.\n\nMy guess would be that somebody made that up to get across the idea that the kid's truancy and delinquency reach sociopathic levels.

Just another example of a criminal activity by a conservative talk show host. Not a problem for the conservatives as they have come to expect it, after all they voted for a convicted coke snorting alcoholic. I guess when you are a republican if you don't expect much then that is what you get.

UMMM...HELLO!  What's wrong with society??  Why isn't the guy considered a whore?  Isn't he just as guilty?  OK, so maybe we don't use the word whore, but I hate this double standard we still have.  It's the 21st century!  Jeez!

I am not sure about speech but I do know that when you are convicted of a crime you basically give up all rights that the constitution gives you. You do not have the right to denie them searching your house. You do not have the right to go anyplace you want. You do not have the right to vote. I don't see how they can take your right to free speech away but if they can they will. Once your debt to society is paid all rights are restored with the exception of the right to bare arms. However they can not take away what is known as your basic human rights.

Nope. Technically, a criminal is someone who does something wrong legally. He's taking a legal action, government has the right to war. It's not illegal.

"having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people"\n\nIt means avoid and exclude people who aren't morally superior like you.\n\nKind of inflates ones head, huh?

That's awful, just awful. \n\nThat's just one of the MANY things that is wrong with the judicial system today. When did we as a country begin to look out more for the criminal than the victim.

It shouldn't mean anything unless he is a bank robber or something, what goes on in a persons private life has nothing to do with his ability to be a good public servant.

con artist, liar, thief, murderer, fascist, crook, moron, a chimp with no intellectual curriosity or reasoning ability. \na hand puppet with handlers managing his interactions with citizens. in short I feel complete and utter contempt for him.\n\nWhen the role is called up yonder, he will have much to account for. Not a man of god.  Not even a man. \nmore of a weasel parasite.

Unfortunately, due to the recent flash of facism these days, he will receive a completely unorthodox amount of time behind bars or probation.\n\nAll you can hope is that the people involved in his case are not a bunch of assholes and will either give him his first offence warning or maybe rehab.

Let's wait to see if anyone's convicted before we start judging.  From what we have heard in the news media there are too many holes that need filled in.  \n\nIf someone is convicted hang 'em but let us extend the same courtesy that we would like to have if we were accused of a crime

Crime is a mind set -- - - - - a society that fails to instil in its citizens core values such as the sanctity of life & property is a society destined to suffer.   \n\nPeace...
