Provoking someone by living your life is far different than provoking someone just to get them angry

That is why the whole "Pam Geller provoking violence by radical Muslims holding a cartoon contest is no different than a gay couple provoking a homophobe to violence by holding hands" line is completely bullshit.

One is far more avoidable than the other with just a little bit of common sense. Guess which one it is.
