Free DJ T.O.

Sign the Petition : 8 Letters and Emails Sent So Far

A young American citizen has been sent to prison for writing a rap song that contained lyrics that were deemed as threatening to two Lakeland, FL police officers. Even though civil rights attorneys seem to agree he could have beaten the charge under freedom of expression, the prosecution threatened the young man with the maximum sentence of five years imprisonment on an unrelated probation charge if he did not enter a plea of no contest to two charges of 'Threatening a public servant'. This is a clear violation of this young mans constitutional rights and a threat to the rights of all American citizens everywhere. Please, send a message to the officials of Lakeland, and to all of America, that this type of injustice will not be tolerated. Thank you to all members of Congress, the Senate and to the President of the United States for your support, and to everyone that signs this petition urging that support. Peace and God Bless.

    Antavio used the NAMES of two Lakeland FL police officers in a song called "Kill me a cop". He was on probation for cocaine charges. If you threaten a public official, you receive time. If he had any brains that weren't obliterated by what was probably years of drug use, he would have thought TWICE about actually using the names of two actual police officers. You want to fly under the radar, you druggie rapper, don't draw so much attention to yourself.

    If there were no names involved in the song, they should not be offended. But there is supposed to be free speech in this country.

    What is happening to our country when our individual rights as Americans are revoked? How else are human beings supposed to express themselves or vent their frustrations(other than actually acting out and possibly committing crimes) if we can't talk or write about it. What next??? Will we be jailed and imprisoned for our thoughts? The freedoms that Americans are born with are the reasons why so many people from all over the world want to come to American and become a citizen...so they can be free, as well. This is wrong and appauling! He should be freed at once and be rewarded for fully exercising his rights as an American. Many Americans have never and will never fully feel their complete freedom because they are too scared to speak out and stand up for what they believe in, and they live their lives with all these rights but only doing what Washington says is acceptable. It's a shame! This young man is a proud American and he wasn't afraid to let everyone know that he was an American who had the freedom and right to express himself. I pray to God that he is released soon, even today if God wills it. And I also pray that the judgement that is passed over the people responsible for sending him to prison is merciful.

    Once again, Lakeland Police Department proves that it doesn't care about the law. All to be expected of the Imperial Polk County, but it's time to stop it.

    Free speech. That's what this country was built on. You're penalizing an American citizen for practicing rights that his forefathers died to bring about.
