How About Really Honoring Charlie Kirk?

Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech.

And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment.

Keep America free.

    A reminder that the First Amendment only means that the government can't censor you.

    If your evil speech incites a negative response and consequences from your fellow citizens - up to and including illegal acts of violence - that has nothing to do with the First Amendment.

    Any such consequences which are illegal are a wholly separate matter, and they get addressed in the courts. Robinson is going to be tried for murder; he is NOT going to be tried for infringement of First Amendment rights.
