    What part of the Bill of Rights do you not comprehend, shooter242.

    So now you say inciting people to riot is protected speech? That's good to know. Then I guess we'll see if it comes to pass.

    In order: yes, it is. Yes, it is. Yes, we will.

    Simple, eh?

    Can I presume that guarding one's property from intrusion is still legal? I'm looking forward to seeing some rock throwers tasered.

    It was, until your lot decided to trade the 4th Amendment away. And why am I not surprised you desire to see violence and injury done civilians?

    Meanwhile, regarding the Supremes ruling that the KKK spouting off is protected, perhaps you can tell us why burning a cross isn't.

    Possibly you're not telling the whole story? Hmmmm?

    Possibly you can't appreciate the difference of the two acts, the difference between an act of speech and an affirmative act of intimidation?

    Again, why am I not surprised?
