    You know what’s sort of depressingly funny? The country would be better off if he were jailed for speech inciting violence. Not this.

    Just as France would have been better off throwing Louis XVI in jail, but it was basically impossible to do. I’m very concerned about our coming reign of terror, but I didn’t realize how the tension slowly builds until you want something, anything to happen and finally move past it. Of course, a good chunk of those who died by Guillotine thought they’d be able to move past it at some point.
