The mayor was arrested today on eight counts of sexual abuse of four minors. The city is still insisting the subpoena -- requiring that a guy appear at city hall to defend his online remark that police should search the now-arrested mayor's basement for a missing youth -- remains active: Image

Wow: The City of Clarksdale, Mississippi, got a court order yesterday directing a newspaper to delete an editorial criticizing city officials -- without a hearing. Here's the TRO issuing the prior restraint: Court order from Hinds County, Mississippi: THIS MATTER having come before this Court on the verified Petition of the City of Clarksdale requesting a temporary restraining order or a hearing on a preliminary injunction and after review of the verified Petition and Attorney Certification, the Court finds that the Petition is well taken.

It's a deliberate chilling of speech protected by the First Amendment.
