Should they get compensation?

I personally think they shouldn't get any. He said "I think freedom of speech should have some kind of limit"

Just want to know what you think.

Since a lot of you may not look at the video database, I'm talking about this.

no! hell no!

i'm not advocating racism or hate of any kind, but this is name calling, it's not like any actual personal defamation or attack of character was carried out

it's not like they're going to be denied a house or a job down the line, because the employer is going to say "i don't know about you two, i remember michael richards saying you're a ******"

They should get absolutely nothing as far as monetary compensation.

Yes, what he said was absolutely reprehensible.

But, the great thing about this country is that you can speak your mind without fear of legal ramifications. He didn't physically threaten them. He "only" insulted them....however tasteless and classless his insults were.

Hell, if we could demand compensation for being insulted....I'm going to owe quite a few people a ton of money......

**** that shit. If they get compensation, then I should be a rich muthafugga too. People need to grow up and stop being little punanis and learn to take things for what they are. Everyone should download and listen to George carlin's skit on racist comments. Better yet, here lemme upload it!

No! If they receive compensation for this, the next thing you know they will be asking for money simply because their ancestors were slaves. I know that sounds ridiculous but I really believe that there are some people that would actually do that.

people do that now^^^^

the word "reparations" ring any bells?

if they get monetary compensation for being called a nigger they should then turn and press charges on the guy who called richards a cracker in retaliation...since racial slurs are such a big deal and all
