TYT: Ashley Judd Takes A Stand Against Internet Trolls And Files Charges

The lowlife pusbags that perpetrate such cowardly and despicable harassment should be buried in a toxic waste dump. They are a disgrace to humanity.

Americans (and many other countries' citizens) enjoy freedom of speech, but not freedom from the adverse effects of their free speech. About time the low life beggars learn this basic truth and stifle their bullying messages of hate.
