The Gilbert Arenas Twitter Lesson: Think Before You Tweet

I feel that Gilbert Arenas should sue the NBA and the Washington Wizzards for violating his First Amendments rights to Freedom of Speech. Who is the NBA to usurp a persons rights to speak their minds. If theat is the case then all of the people in the NBA and the journalist should be fined and repremanded and censured. I am so sick and tired of the media and these corporations violated the the citizens rights, when they can get bailed out, rape, kill and torcher people and get away with it, but feel they have a right to control someone elses voice. Talk about abuse of power and status. The citizens should revolt.

"And by the time an errant tweet--essentially a 140-character press release--is posted, it's too late."
Not necessarily. One of the great features of Twitter is you can delete your tweets! So if you want to participate in an inane conversation in trending topics without clogging up your followers timelines, tweet away, then delete your tweets!

A big crime? Heck no. Still, it's stupid to fool around with guns loaded or otherwise. Fine 'em both 50 bucks and make them kiss and make up.

"Look he lives ,practices,plays and works in the murder capitial or close to it in the united states." That's fantastic you feel that way Adrian, except for the fact that DC is hardly the murder capital anymore...oh and Gilbert doesn't even live here. He lives in suburban Virginia. Not exactly a hotbed for urban warfare. Just sayin...

look people don't like gilbert arenas, because, A. he got unloaded guns away from his three kids or B. that they were registered and he had a license to bare arms. Look he lives ,practices,plays and works in the murder capitial or close to it in the united states give him a break he was only trying to protect himself and others not saying bringing them to an nba arena was right its just where else a garbage can or back to gun salesman so someone else can get a hold of them. oh yeah jarvis everyone makes hand gestures get over it cough up the $25k you owe him for the game of cards you should've not been playin and move onto another team 'cause bad attitudes and jealousy g you nowhere and are have no play on an nba team no matter how talented you might be. you should have worked with gilbert on your game on the court and off instead of making enemies with him, because, in the end you both lose.
