Hate speech always leads to further extremist behavior and death threats. Now, the US is very tolerant of hate speech in itself. The problem is haters are completely incapable of avoiding the next step wherein they call for the call for the deaths of those they hate. The very moment they do that I am perfectly fine with all of our existing laws on things like terroristic threats being wielded against those making the threats.
You have the right to speak, but you also have the right to repercussions, in specific when those actions are a call to harm.
in the US, there needs to be serious proof of intent beyond just saying something to prosecute.
