The problem is murder, not speech The focus on limits to free speech when a teacher has been decapitated is like focusing on a woman’s skirt when she has been raped. One does not cause the other. Your focus on speech offends me – the difference is I don’t threaten or kill for my offended sensibilities. The problem is murder not speech. #JeSuisSamuel #JesuisSamuelPaty #JeSuisCharlie Filed as: Press Releases |
