"Free speech" prevents a legal/legislative cure, but more people have to get this message and take it to heart.

The only cure is for people to turn away from and refuse support for those who generate such "wakes" as they plow through the marina of life. Unfortunately, there is a vast contingent of people in this country so inured to hate speech from their own "side" that they can no longer see the connections.
