Is anyone familiar with the idea of 'stochastic terrorism'? It's when someone with media access to millions of people badmouths someone, thus raising the chances of one of their many followers, listeners, readers, and/or viewers will take it upon themselves to send death threats to the person who upset their beloved idol so. It only leads to actual murder occasionally, but it happens often enough that it's not unreasonable for someone targeted by, say, a national radio host or popular TV pundit to fear for their lives. But the instigator is only exercising their free speech rights, they're not sending the death threats or doing the murder themselves, so they're in the clear, legally, as long as they don't actually call for their victim to be harassed or harmed.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
