    I don’t disagree that it can’t be accepted if they are inciting violence, that’s already a different classification of speech. If he or anyone else ever openly advocated for violence against anyone they should be shut down and brought up on charges.

      And the fun part is, people like kirk lead people to these views points, like stand by and stand down. You need to be able to read between the lines. Kirk talking about abortion being like the Holocaust will incite some of his listeners to action, which starts small with protests and grows into bombing abortion clinics

        That’s a leap. If you start banning speech based on what might happen if it’s interpreted a certain way by extremists, the game is lost.

          It’s not a leap, it’s exactly what happens, it’s why kirk was shot, it’s stochastic terrorism.
