Physical attack? Yes. Universal condemnation is part of free speech too. And really, incitement to violence is a gray area.

- wilsocr88 5y agoWe should be extremely slow to "universally condemn" things, though. Free speech requires that universal condemnation is very difficult to reach. The reality of a free society is that we will be confronted with ideas that differ from our own. It will often be uncomfortable. To be free is a demanding thing for a sovereign citizen. The exact thing to not do is to claim that every situation is potentially worthy of universal condemnation and that we must figure out how every situation could potentially be worthy of universal condemnation. That's the opposite of living in a free society.
