I feel like there's an argument to be made that every firebombing mob started with a single person wishing some consequence.

An idea has to start somewhere.



Well yes.

But that doesn't mean we should outlaw speech... Because speech leads to good things a lot more often than firebombing mobs.

Those people we can put in jail. Only those.

The rest are helpful or neutral, even if you don't agree with them. Democracy (in any form) grows stronger with dissent/speech.
