I tend to agree with the judges. The police removed the idiots from the areas where they were speaking out to keep them from being killed. The charges were valid. This kind of speech isn't an invitation to debate, it looks more like an attempt at public suicide.
The alternative is to allow idiots like this to incite a crowd into assaulting and killing them. People need to realize that freedom of speech applies to political dissent used for keeping the government answerable to us. Freedom of speech is the term which we use to say that we have the right to criticise our government. It doesn't give us carte blanche to make any kind of inflammatory statement we like and be shielded from responsibility for the reaction of others to what we say.
I wonder if these two idiots are disappointed that the crowds they addressed didn't assault them.
I absolutely agree... I really doubt the Founding Fathers intended for the free speech right to be used to protect someone running around town saying such garbage. In fact... I bet in 1789 that somebody saying something like this would have just been shot in the street and depending on how offended the rest of the crowd was he may or may not have gone to jail.
