Would you outlaw bible burning and hold the bible burners responsible for murder?

If a group arose that killed people if someone burned the Book of Mormon - Would you consider the book burner a murderer?

If a group appeared that didn't like it if people said "RED" on Fridays & therefore murdered people on account of it - Would you consider the person who said "RED" on Friday an inciter of murder?


Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.

What I did say was I thought -- so long as the Baptist Church people continue to be both complete jackasses AND use the freedom of speech defense, then I think some soldiers families ought to themselves become complete jackasses back *AND* use a legit interpretation of the Brandenburg ruling to try to get them to STFU.

To all your questions -- please see my sentence about the danger of letting the crazies threats set the standards for protected speech: "I suspect would be the discussion point should this issue ever make its way to the courts."
