I agree with this also specifically on social media and cell phones where a lot of people chose to express there feelings and emotions now days! People don’t confront people or adversity in person with individuals they have issues with or don’t like. They use social media and cell phones to express their feelings or disliking of people hoping to get a reaction from other people or friends. There is consequences for using social media and cell phones in an immoral way from a communication standpoint!!
If you see your kid in this then you have work to do. warning language

Unlawful Communication is the use of a telephone or other electronic means to:“ Is now a crime in the state of SC? “ Defending my buddy who I have know since we were in middle school and his son!
Unlawful Communication – City of Columbia Police Department
columbiapd.net
- communicate words or language of a profane, vulgar, or lewd nature, or convey an obscene, vulgar, indecent, profane, suggestive, or immoral message to another person
- threaten an unlawful act with the intent to coerce, intimidate, or harass another person
- repeatedly contact, whether or not conversation ensues, for the purpose of annoying or harassing another person or his family
- make false statements concerning the death or injury of a family member, with the intent to annoy, frighten, or terrify the person
That is the key to this statute (The Use of a telephone or other electronic means) before the four listed bullet points would apply). I was in the business for almost 30 years and what they are saying out loud is protected speech per the US Supreme Court. I know this fact because people have been saying "**** the Police" for years and they can't be arrested for it. As far as the law goes, I am not going to debate you on the constitutional aspects of free speech, but such profanity is not something one should endorse from either side. Feel free to watch any YouTube Video about interactions with Police Officers and the profanity used toward those officers. See for yourself just how many were arrested.

This is a video ( electronic means) where a couple of Fans express profane, vulgar language toward Dabo. Dabo express his feelings in his press conference this past week toward UofSC fans based on past year results specifically! I never heard of the law prior to my buddy son, 19 years old being charged for unlawful communication by using a cell phone and FB. I believe the reason for the law being pushed in todays world is because of Social Media and cell phone use globally period. Free speech was question at the time! It like getting a traffic ticket or DUI and having to spend money regardless to clear a person name. Money is a big part of it also In my opinion!!
•••• the police and can’t be arrested for it! This key also because it was an officer who charged my buddy son! The officers might be getting tired of the unlawful communication towards them by taken it out on society!
If this law were to be applied under the conditions you listed, then every time there is a protest and every time the media films the protesters yelling "Fu## the Police", we could arrest them according to this logic. You have no experience or background in law enforcement. That is obvious. I was a police officer in Charlotte for almost 26 years after spending the first two years of my career as a Deputy Sheriff in Columbia. Perhaps you should check with your buddy's son and ask him exactly what happened and by what electronic means did he use to harass and/or intimidate the victim. Was it his phone or his Facebook account? And who did he send this communication to? It was obviously someone he knew and that person, in turn, called the police and filed a complaint. Just conjecture on my part, but that is usually how it all happens when the police get involved.

I don’t think the law is concrete, your way or my way specifically if a person has money!! It would be a very bad move for Dabo and Clemson from a PR standpoint regardless!!
Yes or no, if Dabo wanted to go after those fans, based on the description and previous esperience with UofSC fan for unlawful communication, he could and it would stick? I have mentioned the electronic means of communication with my buddy son! He is ok, but has a misdemeanor on his record now and has to wait 3 years to have it expunged. Consequences!! This is ultimately my point with Social media and cell phones “ phones or electronic devices” used immoral has a price!

You seem very confused about this law you keep worrying about. 95% of what you've said so far in this thread is wrong.
Being on video has nothing to do with it. The person FILMING this video would be the one charged if for some reason they sent it out to people with intent of intimidating them. Even still very very unlikely.
That is precisely why I have no interest in attending more than 1 game every couple of years. I have 3 daughters (15, 12 and 11) and I try my best to keep their innocence for as long as possible. Have they already heard someone drop an f bomb? Of course. Are there things much worse? Absolutely. Do I still want to expose my kids to a bunch of drunken, curse like a sailor fools at a football game? Not a chance. We will stay at home and watch on tv. The one and only time I took my oldest daughter to a game, we had a drunken witch stumbling down the walkway literally slam her shoulder into my daughters' shoulder and keep walking without saying a word. When my daughter said "excuse you," the woman told her to F off. I was ready to slap the living snot out of that toothless old hag Tennesshe fan and probably would have would it not have taken me 10 minutes to get to her through the masses of people. We have not been back since. The public is getting worse and worse and worse and it is partly due to all you people calling someone a Karen over their being bothered by the rudeness and lack of any morals of the drunken mob in society. You would stand there and clap and film the drunks while they bang each other in the bathroom stalls but mock someone for making a comment here complaining about the behavior being seen by their little kids. Pillars of society, I tell ya.
Your posts offend me, Concrete, and the threats to turn use the police against us not only offends me; but makes me feel threatened as well. You should stop. What you're doing is an offense punishable by law according to an internet expert I recently met.
I'm guessing you're not an attorney.
Vulgar and profane language is protected speech.
The fact that some fans here are condoning this behavior is troubling . You really think Dabo needs anymore reason to kick our ass every year ? Just plain dumb and stupid on USC fans part !
Like many others have stated, the prevalence of the F word in society frustrates me, and I am not a fan of the students chanting it.
Despite that, OP you use way too many exclamation points to have any of your posts taken seriously.

Does it not bother ya'll that he keeps saying UofSC?
Wonder if he had issue with LSU chant during the championship game. Classless fans every where. Clemson included
Trying to deflect blame on Clemson doesn't work here. I personally know several murders and rapes that have happened at our stadium after football games. Does that make it any better that there was substance abuse up in the hills of Clemson? I don't think so. We have work to do.
Clemson an uofSC very seldom recruit head to head . If you had been in sales you would know you don't ever waste time talking about your competition. You spend your time selling your product. Just the way it works best.
You are correct in that. I would like to offer you some advice but somehow I don't think it would be appropriate on this forum. I will say your friend's son should go seek legal counsel. I'm not sure if you're aware but some of us on here are involved in this area.
He seemed to be "all over the place" with his posts. I had a hard time just trying to understand what he was trying to convey in his repeated posts. I can now understand why Coach B in New England just says "Asked and answered...next question." with reporters that keep asking the same questions over and over again.
