Shots fired in Dallas of mohammed cartoons.

Advocating a person's right to provoke through speech is not tantamount to a "suicide pact." I fail to see the relevancy of your point.

Advocating a person's right to provoke in such a way as to predictably put others at risk who did not consent to embrace the risk is a very gray area.

But the suicide pact statement is specifically directed not at the organizer of the draw Mohammed stunt, but at the neo-Nazi Association of holocaust deniers. Practical history suggest there is very good and practical cause to believe allowing some groups freedom of expression would be a suicide pact for civil and reasonably society.

So forceful suppression of certain speech may be completely essential for the preservation of freedom of other speech.

Who is put in imminent danger by allowing a fringe lunatic to deny an historical event? I'm not talking about "neo-Nazis," or hate speech intended to incite violence against a class or group of people.
