Sitting Senator publicly incites others to engage in politicized murder of civilians.

Senator Tom Cotton has a zest for the murder of U.S. citizens—see his op-ed calling for summary execution of protesters against police brutality—and he is a leader within our nation's fascist party, so this should perhaps not be such a surprise, but it should always be a shock.

@JuliusGoat That would be a felony in many democratic countries around the world. But I guess the "freedom of speech should have limitations" is the beginning of a slippery slope. (/s)

@Illuminatus @JuliusGoat
there IS a limit to 'Free Speech', and inciting riot is outside the legal limit, as is falsely defaming someone

@PeachMcD @Illuminatus @JuliusGoat "Shouting 'fire!' in a movie theater" is a very bad example on the limits of free speech. Might I suggest instead using things like false advertising, threats, and defamation?

Here are some bits about the problem with "fire":

Don't give this a free pass.
