Legal experts say anonymous post on political site
is likely protected under free speech laws
December 05, 2007 (Computerworld) -- A Wisconsin high school teacher was arrested last week after a blog post that included support for student killers like those involved in the 1999 Columbine, Colo., High School massacre.
James Buss was arrested Nov. 29 and charged with disorderly conduct and unlawful use of computerized communications systems, according to a spokeswoman from the West Bend, Wis., police department. Buss, a teacher from a high school in Milwaukee, admitted to making an anonymous blog post on the political blog Boots and Sabers on Nov. 16, the spokeswoman said.
