If I formed a public rally to incite hatred over your mother/sister/girlfriend and gathered a mob to beat them up on the precedence of something so trivial such as their race, religion, gender, or the fact that they know you, would you or would you not want me prosecuted? And do you think my defence of "I wanted to say those things" would hold up in court. What's the difference between that farcicle scenario, and Griffin's incision of racial hatred? Tell me, I want to know. How is it that someone's beliefs is an excuse to attack them? That's not freedom of speech. That's abusing the right to. You can't just say what you want and hope to get away with it. The world doesn't work like that, and nor it should, and your naive or ignorant to think so.
