Provoking violence by whom? I saw no rioting in the streets of America, I saw no one killed over this in America. I saw nothing more than a citizen wishing to express his right of free speech, what exactly did you see? More importantly, where was this violence and illegal action taking place?

I understand what you guys are saying, I completely 100% do.
But this will set a precedence for govt. involvement in free speech
Next thing you know legislation and a new social issues watchdog govt. department will be created
Do not stray from the path!
The economy, personal responsibility MUST be left to the people... and it's us who failed here!

Make those bastards pay. They're hardly a church, they're furthest breed from god. Their attempt at a hate crime should not be covered by our tax dollars. Jesus weeps for them.

Everything!
The loophole however is a hate crime, but they weren't hating on an individual belonging to a particular race or set of beliefs, just rather a book.
Everything about this is about free speech, here it is free speech completely based on hate and ignorance.
Nonetheless........
