Beware. Authoritarians will use this to "sweep up" items on their agenda.

[grasswire]

This is the kind of opportunity that the authoritarians take to push their agenda during the chaotic aftermath of tragedy.

While we who are reasonable people might think the public opinion would turn toward making solutions rooted in peace and justice, the thugs among us will drive the juggernaut of diminished liberties and repression relentlessly.

Beware of new limitations on speech. Beware of criminalization of free association. Be wise.

Don't give the authoritarians any tools that can be used against the people. Don't support any such measure.

1. I agree and recommend

It is not smart to turn the State loose with innumerable new powers or even the excessive use of the old ones.

6. true. issues of free speech are important

and the call needs to be at a national level from the people of this nation to tell the right wing to stop - and if that requires boycotts - that's good.

we don't need authoritarians to police speech. we need community standards as a nation.

[Dappleganger]

14. Agreed, but I have always been a proponent of being responsible for our words.

People who use language which encourages violence need to be held responsible in some way. I think lawsuits may be one of those ways to make them hurt.

[Swamp Rat]
