I disagree. The beheadings there, perpetrated upon Western journalists, happen because they have shock value in the Western media. Now, if you have evidence that public demonstrations replete with signs are what are inciting those beheadings, I'm all ears.
But I'm going to go out on a limb and say that those atrocities are a result of extremists attempting to shock and dismay their enemy.

First sentence needs sourcing. Second sentence is unnecessary.

You may think it's criminal speech. I think it's misguided speech. And I think SCOTUS will uphold precedent if it gets that far.
Speaking of which, are there any relevant cases in the US court system you know of?
Did you notice the murders were in the U.K. and Canada? And SCOTUS necessarily does not have jurisdiction. So why are you asking about the U.S. court system?
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
