Not in the eyes of the law, they're not. GGJohn May 2015 #11

I wouldn't cross the street to piss on Gellar if she were on fire, but this isn't incitement. n/t X_Digger May 2015 #21

You are speculating. I repeat. The identities of the gunmen are NOT known. ScreamingMeemie May 2015 #47

Whoever told me that Geller was in charge of the meeting fadedrose May 2015 #54

I gave you CBS because I figured you would say that about a Fox affiliate ScreamingMeemie May 2015 #55

If you look at the time of the posts, fadedrose May 2015 #58

I'm looking at one of your posts now... where inaccurate info wasn't corrected. ScreamingMeemie May 2015 #64

I posted the link to the local Fox affiliate. tammywammy May 2015 #59

You've posted so much inaccurate information you should really delete this thread. tammywammy May 2015 #50

CNN was reporting this as a *Free Speech* event. Horse shit… It was a HATE EVENT. LINK: Raine1967 May 2015 #49

No - the hate is what Jihadists did killing Theo Van Gogh and threatening Molly Norris Algernon Moncrieff May 2015 #60

My feeling is this: Raine1967 May 2015 #66

Let me get this straight: Act_of_Reparation May 2015 #72
