> speech ... killed

I’m not familiar with the incident (save it, don’t care), but I can promise you that no honest coroner has ever given “free speech” as a cause of death.



It's commonly called "stochastic terrorism".


charlottesville was a pretty consequential event politically, which also result in a death.

this is not the first dismissive comment I've had on HN of people showing a disregard for knowledge & literally not caring to know the issue they comment on. both instances i've participated in involved race which is telling to me imho. Seems to go against the ideals of this forum.

I'm no trying to argue either way just point out the example in the article. Personally I lean more towards free speech at all costs.


Really? What was the race of the person who died? What was the race of the person who killed them?
