Definitely A Especially when violence is suggested
ReplyDeleteCriminalized. As a hate crime if it promotes violence towards another race or preference.
ReplyDeleteI thought the law was already on the books
ReplyDeleteINCITING A RIOT? DISTURBING THE PEACE? THREAT OF ARSON? DISOBEYING A LAWFUL ORDER?
Doesn't matter if like the rest of the laws they are selectively enforced.
ReplyDeleteA A A A - get the picture - a violation of my rights to assemble if they are inciting violence.
ReplyDeleteA, since D...deported is not on the list.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely A... inciting violence should be a crime punishable with jail time
ReplyDeleteC. Theoretically, you could take comments on here as speech that encourages others to act violently ("lock and load", "If someone is on your property, shoot them on sight" etc).
ReplyDeleteFree speech should be protected. The only way to change the first amendment is with, you guessed it, another amendment.
We should focus on prosecuting those who actually act on words, as these are the real problem with society.
B. Freedom of speech is basic and a first amendment right. If others choose to act violently after hearing speech, then the violent person has committed the crime, and should be arrested.
ReplyDeleteBut lying to someone in order to create a desired reaction in another person is a malicious act and is a crime, but it is still incumbent on that person to check the facts before acting out.
C...make people responsible for the actions they take - thinking and speaking should be covered under free speech!
ReplyDeleteB - because no matter what i say to you, you should be responsible for your own actions.
ReplyDeleteI see the free speech angle.
ReplyDeleteThink about this-Bid Laden. He wasn't guilty of actually killing anyone on US soil but it was his speech that prompted others to perform acts of terrorism in the US. Obama gave the okay to have Bin Laden executed.
To the liberal idiots who answered A, do you know what freedom of speech is?
ReplyDelete2:05....a bit disingenuous.
ReplyDeleteHe planned, provided material support, and issued commands and directives that saw direct fruition in the 9/11 attacks.
It was hardly his "speech" that got him killed. It was his actions.
"B" is the correct answer.
Thomas Jefferson and John Adams would say that when the acting authority will not accede to reason, peaceful protests and mean editorials in attempts to redress grievances, then they (the authorities) must be subjected to ever more forceful means of persuasion, lest they believe that all they must endure is the short-term pain of exposure and censure.
That's where the Second Amendment comes into play --- the ability of "We, the people" to BE violent and to incite violence.
THAT'S what keeps our government from going all-out in whatever they like or deem "necessary" --- the ever-present risk of armed and violent rejection.
Jefferson himself said the same thing.
But --- I DO recognize that, today, there are MILLIONS of sheep much, much smarter and wiser than he could have ever been.
That's how we got to where we are now.
Keep cheering.
