Episode Details

Reno mayoral candidate George Eddie Lorton obtains a temporary protection order against blogger Michael Leonard, who criticized Lortons campaign. Leonard counters with a motion to dismiss the order and seek attorney fees. The dispute escalated after Leonard sent Lorton an invoice for in-kind campaign contributions and a Breaking Bad meme, which Lorton interpreted as a threat. Leonard argues his actions are protected speech and not harassment. The case raises questions about free speech and political tactics as the mayoral race intensifies.
