[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kanye is kinda crazy and kinda brilliant and I think pretty harmless[/quote]

Telling tens of millions of followers that he will go “Death con 3 on the Jews” is opposite of harmless.

In more civilized countries, speech like that is rightfully illegal. [/quote]

The nations that arent fascist have greater restrictions on speech.  Is that how it works? [/quote]

Tell us your address so we can let Kanye know where to send his mob. Should it be legal for him to wish “Death Con 3” on your kids? Maybe he can wish Death Con 3 on your kids’ school and encourage people to bear arms there.

Freedom of speech, right?

If you're opposed to freedom of speech, it means that you favor a more authoritarian approach to governance.

Even in our society, however, it is illegal to make threats of violence, as you might be doing against schoolchildren.  [/quote]

Should a threat of violence against Jews be illegal in the US? Yes or no.

I think laws should be changed to make it illegal.

Let us know your answer in definitive terms.[/quote]

Credible, unambiguous threats of violence should. Using colorful or offensive language should not.

"Death con 3" is presumably a reference to "def con," which is an antiquated military term about being ready to deploy. It isnt a threat of violence like, for example, threatening to send weapons into a school.

What Ye said is offensive. Its not illegally offensive, nor should it be. We dont criminalize words in the US unless they are a prelude to crime. Thats how it should be.[/quote]

So you’re cool with speech that threatens Jewish people based on their ethnicity-religion.

Like I said, more civilized societies made hate speech illegal based on a history of atrocities. It’s sad to see so many Americans apply some sort of quixotic notion of “free speech” that only serves to protect and inspire violent rhetoric (see, Tree of Life murders).

Kanye will inspire the next synagogue shooter. I guarantee it.  [/quote]
