Free speech isn't as free as we think it is, sad to say there are restrictions even in America.
Ok? So your answer is more anti-speech laws?
Quote:
The United States Supreme Court has upheld certain cases where the speech is considered dangerous to the public one of the opinions in such cases gave us the scenario of the responsibility of someone yelling fire in a theatre causing a panic.
A reasonable restriction.
Quote:
Part of the reason hate speech is outlawed is that cowardly people would incite others to do their dirty work for them which is not courageous in any way.
But hate speech isn't outlawed . . . (in the US).
And that isn't clearly true.

There are concequences to breaking laws for a reason.
And?

The differences between the government violence and the hater violence are that the following:
Quote:
The U.S. is barred from cruel and unsual punishments.
How is this different from "hater violence"?
Quote:
You can in fact leave a country/government like the U.S. beforehand.
Not always true, an so what if you can? Does that therefore justify the passing of a law requiring fags to be lynched, since they could have left beforehand? Absurd.
Quote:
The public have given implicit consent to the laws they live with and if not they have means by which they can change the laws.
The "public" is just the majority, who have time and time again showed cruelty to minorities. If dissent is unjustified because of the implicit consent to which you refer, then Martin Luther King Jr. shouldn't have engaged in civil disobedience (which is obviously against the law) because he "implicitly consented" to living in the US.
