re: #2 Destro

I said it often, in Europe where they have slaughtered each other for less than this…

In between looking down their noses at us Americans, the pompous hypocrites. But I digress.

for example anti-hate crime laws and laws that ban Nazi parties, etc.

We’ve got hate-crime laws in America. Or were you talking about hate speech?

re: #3 Locker

It seems, historically, that protests of these nature aren’t peaceful.

And they’ll get more peaceful by denying them practice, making them shut-up, and adding to the persecution/culture-war inflammatory bs. Yeah, that’ll mellow them out. /sarc

Every single time some radical Islamists kill people over cartoons, we’re like “they really should learn how to deal with these things peacefully. To counter speech they don’t like with their own speech.” But now France is saying to muslims “you’re not mature enough to have freedom of speech.” What recourse does that leave musilms, just shutting the f*** up? Fat chance!

This is short-sighted, tribal-esque, racist bulls***. Its going to backfire on France. Mark my words.
