Is the contest in a public forum? If there had been prior acts of violence, would putting the event in a public place put other members of the public not associated with the contest at undue risk with the threat of further violence?
What would be the motivation behind the organizers of contest? Would it simply be to draw funny pictures of Bush as an FU to Republicans? Or do the organizers want to intentionally create a situation where they can then smugly point out how Republicans are a bunch of violent crazies?
Geller was not motivated by free speech in any of this. She hates the First Amendment. This is what's so disgusting about her throughout all of this, the utter hypocrisy and false framing and fake victimizing.
Yes, she was technically protected by the First Amendment. Yes, no one here is excusing shooting people. But Geller casting herself as a "victim" is where the line needs to be drawn.
