L.A. Political Icon, Zuma Dogg Explains FEDERAL FREE SPEECH RULING of 2013 -- READ JUDGE'S FULL RULING, HERE: 1st Amendment/Free Speech/Public Comment Rules for The People vs U.S. Government

2013 RE-CAP - UNITED STATES/AUGUST 07, 2013: A FEDERAL JUDGE ruled in favor of Zuma Dogg on his "as-applied" challenge to the Los Angeles City Council "Rules of Decorum" under the United States Constitution and the California constitution. Zuma Dogg may seek damages at the January 2014 jury trial. 


The People and Media of Los Angeles stood-down, and stayed silent, as the Voice of The People (Zuma Dogg) was SILENCED, ILLEGALLY, as he was exposing the fraud/waste/abuse/corruption, brought to him by those people. (IT'S CALLED BEING COWARDS!) 

FEDERAL RULING (AUGUST 08, 2013) - Zuma Dogg vs Los Angeles City Council: "The court finds the discussion of a councilman’s alleged criminal activities is relevant to a discussion of funding that the City intends to give to that councilman’s District. Indeed, this incident is exemplary of why it is unconstitutional to restrict speakers from making personal attacks in City Council meetings; it chills speech critical of elected officials, which is speech at the heart of the First Amendment. In one of the largest cities in the world, it is to be expected that some inhabitants will sometimes use language that does not conform to conventions of civility and decorum, including offensive language and swear-words. As an elected official, a City Council member will be the subject of personal attacks in such language. It is asking much of City Council members, who have given themselves to public service, to tolerate profanities and personal attacks, but that is what is required by the First Amendment. While the City Council has a right to keep its meetings on topic and moving forward, it cannot sacrifice political speech to a formula of civility. Dogg “may be a gadfly to those with views contrary to [their] own, but First Amendment jurisprudence is clear that the way to oppose offensive speech is by more speech, not censorship, enforced silence or eviction from legitimately occupied public space.” Gathright v. City of 18 Portland, Or., 439 F.3d 573, 578 (9th Cir. 2006). The city that silences a critic will injure itself as much as it injures the critic, for the gadfly’s task is to stir into life the massive beast of the city, to “rouse each and every one of you, to persuade and reproach you all day long.” (‪#‎PLATO‬, Five Dialogues, Hackett, 23 2d Ed., Trans. G.M.A. Grube, 35 (Apology).) 24 The court GRANTS summary judgment to Plaintiffs on the as-applied challenge to the Rules of Decorum."  

VICTORY=DOGG, LOSERS=L.A. CITY COUNCIL & THE PEOPLE OF L.A. WHO ARE PAYING FOR 
ALL OF THIS.

HERE IS THE MESSAGE FROM ZUMA DOGG: The FEDERAL RULING THAT #LACityCouncil BROKE LAW in CENSORSHIP of ZUMA DOGG is NOT a personal story about Zuma Dogg vs City Council.  L.A. Council, like cult leaders, have (Sheep-People) Angelinos brainwashed like cult members -- and it means that The People are not getting their full range of expression/are being chilled/silenced/censored by Council, This gives Council a free pass, cause much of what could be said, about them and projects/decisions, is not being allowed to be said, Imagine if folks could REALLY tell council what they think? Council might not try to get away with some of this stuff, in such insulated comfort and might think twice. They just DESTROYED the city, with full knowledge, and had duct tape on The People's mouth, like hostages. It's called, 'a chilling effect,' in the political legal word (and horror film genre). The extent of which I had to walk a mental tightrope, with council winds blowing -- for being off topic and other nonsense (which sure does break your train of thought, as the judge notes), really DID have a chilling/censorship effect. AND, it was ALL ILLEGAL=ALL THOSE YEARS. I wonder why the media/bloggers/activists I tried to get to help expose this, patted me on the head and told me how much they hope this wraps up, BUT NEVER MENTIONED/POSTED/BLOGGED A WORD? Meanwhile, your TRUE OUTRAGE should be the amount of L.A. City time and GENERAL FUND is being spent to prepare for the jury trial to award my damages. (A LOT MORE THAN I PROPOSED TO SETTLE FOR, a couple years ago, when I tried to get people to report on this, to end the wasteful spending.) WAIT TILL YOU HEAR THE TOTAL COST of Zuma Dogg vs L.A. City Hall...and the clock continues to tick as the city's general fund continues to bleed. City is COMMITTED TO SPENDING WHATEVER IT TAKES WITH AN ENDLESS BOTTOMLESS PIT OF YOUR TAXPAYER MONEY TO KEEP SPENDING ON THIS, after they ALREADY LOST -- and the Jan. 2014 jury trial is only for a jury to decide how much the city owes me in damages (not for them to defend their guilt/innocent=THEY ALREADY LOST!) 
STAY SILENT, SHEEP-PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES. Just pay the new taxes they will hit you with to pave the streets, while they spend the money they have, on attorney fees, over this matter.

THE IMPACT/HOW THIS FEDERAL RULING AGAINST L.A. CITY COUNCIL, IN FAVOR OF ZUMA DOGG, AFFECTS Y-O-U! (And, they are gonna make a new tax for street repair.) I proposed a settlement, a couple years ago, which would have not only allowed me to mitigate my damages (I am now diagnosed medically disabled, by State of CA), which I believe to be caused by the years of civil rights violations, at Venice Beach (which was also part of this lawsuit, and the judge ALSO ruled in my favor, that the city should not have banned my amplifier from the boardwalk, which caused me to lose my income/I became homeless/and am now disabled.) The city said they needed more info, and spent a bottomless pit of general fund dollars on depositions/medical exams/my own attorney fees, which they pay -- and at the time, the only ruling I won, was the Venice Beach amp portion of the suit; as the "Code of Conduct" (Banning of Zuma Dogg during public comment, for 30 council meetings at a time), ruling, did not come out until, today. SO, those are MAJOR ADDED DAMAGES, that weren't a part of the settlement they rejected, as they spent a BOTTOMLESS PIT OF MONEY, that geometrically trumps the amount I was desperate to settle for. AND, now, the L.A. City Attorney Office, their MOST EXPENSIVE OUTSIDE COUNSEL, and my attorney -- CONTINUE to prepare for a January 2014 jury trial, where the JURY will decide how much L.A. City (A Municipal CORPORATION) will pay Mr. Dogg. The amount of money spent on attorneys/trial preparation, FAR EXCEEDS what I proposed...and then, who KNOWS what a jury will award the political activist/gadfly, Zuma Dogg, who was exposing City Council corruption/fraud/waste/abuse -- as they banned me for 30 council meetings, at a time, multiple times. A nice way to censor the political opposition. PEOPLE DON'T SAY A THING. THEY JUST LET THE GENERAL FUND BLEED OVER THIS." (Sorry my spirit has turned bitter, over all of this.) - ZD
