@BernardKeane question: if you think mass murderers deserve the death penalty is that inciting violence? Thoughts?

@tim_smith_87 mass murder is recognised throughout the world as a crime. unrelated to the Newman case. Hitler thought Jews were a danger. -
@BernardKeane it could set a interesting/unwanted precedent. What defines "inciting violence"? Is there a legal definition? -
@tim_smith_87 ask a lawyer. but urging the state slaughter an innocent community group surely fits any definition. -
@BernardKeane thnx. Interesting to see if actions are innocent given abortion by definition is still illegal in many places around the world -
@tim_smith_87 and plenty of places persecute and kill Jews, and Christians, and Muslims of the wrong sect, too. -

I'm confused.... -

@BernardKeane how exactly does he incite violence? If you murder a human and the law allows for execution then??? Free speech is dead in Aus -
@brian_owens88 free speech does not extend to urging harm on others, by the state or by vigilantes. simple case. -
@BernardKeane you can't limit free speech. It's either free or it's not. -
@brian_owens88 erm, no. there's no one who supports absolutely unfettered free speech. go do some research. -
@BernardKeane i do. If people can't control their physical actions, that's a different thing. Words don't cause physical harm -
@brian_owens88 like I said, go do some research. -
@BernardKeane on what? Free speech? Does the UN charter on Human Rights define it? They're only sound waves. Only harm is to feelings.

@BernardKeane I look forward to you taking this position against visiting Islamic clerics. -
@FredNewmanAust if they incite violence, it's a no brainer.

@BernardKeane exactly. What makes it all the worse, is that Newman considers himself to be "pro-life". *shakes head*Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
