This kind of stuff just feeds non-dialogue violence.

People take their rights for granted. They do not comprehend that if we lose our first amendment rights, we have lost all of our rights because we won't have them long. It's that important. Some people are going to say things, awful things, that we don't like or want to hear but there is another way to deal with that rather than trying to shut them up. All you need to know is that if you succeed in shutting someone else up, someone will succeed in shutting YOU up. And if you think you have nothing to say that offends anyone, better think again. We're ALL offensive to someone.
