With regard to the petition.....I think I could sign that. I would like it to go a little further than just condemning hate speech. I'd like to see it also condemn hate crime laws. In my mind prosecuting a crime as a hate crime instead of just a regular crime....is prosecuting someone for their thoughts in addition to prosecuting them for the crime they committed.
People should be free to think what they want to think and say what they want to say.
