What if it was Black protesters the streets of Ferguson, Missouri chanting "Who do we want? Darren Wilson! How do we want him? Dead!". Would you take issue with those militarized police arresting those protesters for hate speech?
Yes, in fact, I WOULD "take issue" with the cops!
However, when the first rock was thrown, or the first window was broken, THEN the arrests should start!

It doesn't matter who said it, it was what was said. What part of this do you not understand?
So calling in bomb threats should be legal? Yelling fire in a crowded theatre?
How about I just stand outside your apartment with a bullhorn reading from the phone book at 3AM?
Come on now, give it a rest...there is plenty of historic precedent for why riling up people and urging them on to commit specific violence is against the law. Lynching comes to mind.

Okay, I PERSONALLY don't need the Godvernment initiating force on my behalf against other's speech. I am not afraid of speech. You are free to fear whatever you'd like.
I don't feel superior to my fellow human beings. People have a right, an innate right, to believe whatever they wish. I am still not afraid of what others think or say. When they DO something, then their actions can be judged.
Should anyone fear "stormfront" any more than a closed door congressional meeting? Hardly.
So you believe that the gal that went around trying to find someone to kill her husband and then paid an undercover cop 10k to do it, including giving him a time and unlocking the back door.....shouldn't be charged with solicitation of murder?
