that does not mean that we are opposed to freedom of speech. as we do not say, you are not allow. but, as a society, we are allowed thru dollar and voice, to state that cover is over the line. check it.
and that does not advocate violence, and certainly murder. or the threat of either.
i see people on this thread, that you are advocating murder. i have served on juries where people claim a poster is joyous at the deaths. talked about damned offensive.
all of us know better. none of us believes anyone discussing this is joyous at innocents murder. any murder, personally.
yet. people say it. they are exercising freedom of speech. one person told the poster, .... fuck you. i had to vote for a hide because i feel it is against community standard to tell another, fuck you. though i felt the response was tepid, compare to stating that a long time duer, respected, felt joy of the deaths in france. but, there was not a hide there.
i find too often, those demanding their right to be offensive are given a free pass. and those that call them out, exercising their free speech, gets a hide.
