A Sort-of Repeat Note On Gordon Lee

Can we please dispel the notion once and for all that the Gordon Lee case is in any way about Lee screwing up and giving a kid a comic with Picasso's tiny, flaccid penis in it? The support of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is not now, nor has it ever been, a Retailer Merit Award. The day that Gordon Lee is charged by the Retailer District Attorney, and tried in Retailer Court, and has his case decided upon by a jury of 12 Angry Comics Internet Personalities, and runs the risk of being thrown in Retailer Jail if found guilty, then we can have a long and thrilling conversation about how his actions stacked up against other retailer or wannabe retailers and their fantasy administration of that night's same events.

Until then, can we all please recognize that this is horrible law, and if the CBLDF and Gordon Lee prevail, it's that horrible law that is weakened or goes away? Lee doesn't get an extra discount from Diamond if they win. He might go to jail if they lose. We get greater opportunity for free speech and expression if they win. We get reduced opportunity for free speech and expression if they lose. Is anyone not clear on this yet?
