Police in Indiana banned a hip-hop performance that would have been done remotely, via hologram. What?

Nowhere does the constitution grant the right of free speech to holograms, it’s not like they’re corporations or any other form of citizen.
Can’t help wondering, CrazyH, how this case will play out when it comes to the US Supreme Court. Are holograms really corporations ?… 😉

Only if they’re holograms of rich white men.
So rich white ladies need not apply ? Would a hologram of the – to my mind, at least – very corporate Ms Clinton also be banned ?…

One can only hope.

“When a city attempts to put an unofficial blanket ban on specific artistic performances; you may just live in a police state. Even the most seemingly repugnant speech must be protected for true liberty to flourish.”
