“Being an annoying person in New York used to be enough to warrant a felony charge, until this week. On Tuesday the Court of Appeals in Albany ruled against a statute that made it a felony to communicate with someone ‘in a manner likely to cause annoyance or alarm.’ How can there be a crime if no property is stolen or damaged and no violent acts have occured? The First Amendment protects free speech, but the Bill of Rights should not be the only method used to validate that speech should not be punished with force by the State. The principles of natural law tell us that if you have not aggressed upon another’s property or person, then you have not committed a crime.”
