I think ( from a great distance ) that however abhorrent this decision
is it should be heard ( that's the right to free speech bit ) and then
should be roundly condemned by all, at least it could lead to legislation
that will completely outlaw this inhuman behaviour,

Subject: [HP3000-L] OT: Supreme Court to hear Cross Burning Case
I find it interesting that the U.S. Supreme Court is going to hear a case on
Cross Burning because it deals with free speech. The plaintiff argues that
s/he has the right to burn a cross, under the guise of free speech, to
intimidate people.
If the Supreme Court rules in favor of this argument then I should be
allowed to enter a movie theatre and yell 'FIRE' because I want to
intimidate/scare people.
Where will common sense take hold again?
just my opinion, and I'm interested in yours.
