I’m also reading a lot about how you can’t incite violence. We should all be able to agree on that. What concerns me is that many used Facebook/Twitter over the summer to plan riots, bombing of federal buildings and even seceding from the USA in Seattle. The problem is not that we shouldn’t take action against this stuff. The problem is that we’re doing it selectively. This is sure to worsen the scenario all around.

The Michigan kidnapping plot was effectively a bunch of guys with almost no skills, they were recruiting an "explosives expert" and it was an easy in for an undercover FBI agent to infiltrate the group.
