They need to shut that newspaper down. Free Speech does not include the right to incite violence.

It doesn't? When the Continental Congress met to plan war, what was that?

Advocating rebellion is what they are doing. If no one goes along with it....it's just noise in a paper.

Revolutionary pamphlets all over the place saying the same thing every day. Mostly ignored.

Inciting Riot is what the Chicago 7 were tried for. Let me know how that turned out, and how many prosecutions for that have subsequently been pursued.

Speech is just speech. No prior restraint. Until someone does something because of it - and you can prove that - it's just...words.

Au contraire, it is the OUTCOME of said Freedom of speech that should be prosecuted.

Just as it IS viable to shout ‘Fire’ in a crowded movie theater; it is punishable if there are damages/death/etc. if there is no fire. If one would to shout ‘fire’ and all got out peacefully, quickly and orderly...is that a crime?

Our Founders, (CYA??) writing under a pseudonym, would be as guilty...or the pastors of the time, calling for revolution!

Now, Al Sharpton RE: two dead cops in NY...
