Stochastic terrorism

[Jackpine Radical]

23. Very interesting. I posted this thread describing stochastic terrorism. Then lots of people

leaped to the assumption that I was proposing some sort of solution, more specifically a solution that involves curtailing the First Amendment, and then went chasing after that like a pack of hounds on the trail of Harvey the Invisible Rabbit.

Note that I did not propose a solution, involving the First Amendment or otherwise.

In fact, I think the problem is more one of a culture gone crazy than one requiring some draconian Constitutional surgery. We need--somehow--to become the sort of people to whom this sort of incitement is culturally unacceptable. There is nothing in the Constitution that protects people from the consequences of their speech when those consequences involve public opprobrium. That process has to start through increasing awareness of the problem, which was the point of my OP.
