One of the most beloved and family friendly comedians on Earth. Gabriel Iglesias (Fluffy) would be given twenty years for doing (some) of those exact same things.

This is true. Then they rebranded Political Correctness as WOKE. It is exactly the same thing . . . lying with menaces . . . mainly doxxing.

Yes, Don was insulting... but

Lenny Bruce (October 13, 1925 – August 3, 1966), was an American comedian. His real name was Leonard Alfred Schneider. He is considered an innovator of modern stand-up comedy and changed the way many people see comedians. His jokes and routines were very improper and off limits for the time, and he got in a lot of trouble for them. He is considered a hero for the defense of the First Amendment rights in the United States, especially for free speech.

In the 1960s, he was the last person arrested for impersonating and swearing, overwatched by martial law and police, and banned from many cities and comedy clubs.

He appeared on the cover of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album.

He died in 1966 of an accidental morphine overdose whilst on trial.

In 1970 the New York's highest court of appeals decided that he was "not guilty for using bad words".

Judge Barbara de Lima Iseppi ruled that ‘dignity’ trumped the right to free speech, saying: ‘The place of humour is not a lawless land.’

She added: : ‘In the event of a conflict between the fundamental precept of freedom of expression and the principles of human dignity and legal equality, the latter must prevail.’
