Hey, at least I am not too chicken**** to quote the person I am trying to address.

Actually, even in the US, you can stop people from saying that. You seem to be consistent for freedom of all speech, while bring ignorant of slander laws...as well as being outraged that other countries do not adopt your standard of free speech and not allowed to govern themselves. Your focus of outrage is putting someone in prison that wishes another holocaust.

What does someone concocting a conspiracy to commit murder and taking ACTION to make it happen have to do with some idiot spouting stupid beliefs? Anyway, I already conceded, you are free to be afraid of free speech. I think that there are much more harmful, evil, and destructive forces than free speech, like that the State can initiate force against the individual.

Should this person be allowed to do so? It's their free speech. What's the harm?
There would be little to nothing law enforcement could do about that.

Can't carry on a rational discussion so you just loudly state your personal beliefs and then essentially call me a chicken?

They could be sued for slander if it's false.

I replied right below you. Figured I didn't need to do so. Slander laws are fine but that's a VERY FINE line...I would like to see what the person in the report actually said.

No action had been taken yet. That was your whole point. She was just talking about killing her husband. Why are you so fearful of her free speech.
