Crow said:beanieboy, I will not compromise my freedom of speech on the odd chance that a nutcase will hear it and run with it, and neither should anyone else. Nutcases do things for all sorts of reasons, from wanting to impress Jodie Foster to because the dog told them to do it.
If Bob were to tell people "let's go kill fags" or "let's go beat so-and-so" to death, then he would be encouraging people to vigilante violence, and would have crossed the line. As I would be if I were to try to organize people to boil child molesters to death.
I refuse to live my life worrying about what nutcases do because there is simply no way to anticipate how the stupid or those with deranged minds will act. I don't want to quit seeing action films because some idiot kid is going to try to emulate some scene. If a person is filled with rage and is crazy and evil, they don't require my encouragement to act as evil as they are.
You have Freedom of Speech, that's right.
I don't know if Bob technically has any legal problems with anyone who would take matters into their own hands.
But if someone is saying that they would have all gays executed in their Shadow Government, are they part of any violence that comes out of it?
In a Buddhist sense, he would be a sewer of seeds of violence, and a farmer that sows such seeds may not be the weed, but is still responsible for his actions.
It's a choice that we all make.
