This absolute understanding of free speech reminds me of another stupid debate that we have in Germany: people going into a terror camp in pakistan to get training for terrorist activities like building bombs, blowing trains up, or participating in jihad - could they be arrested for going there, or is it their freedom to go there and get that training, but should only be arrested if they actzally USE that training in practice? Is their motivation really still in doubt when they go there? Could one wish to get terror training for another, more peaceful purpose than doing terrorist stuff? Why do you think they try to get that training? Action holidays? Violent recreation?
Same goes for the abuse of free speech. when it is abused for directly or indirectly destroying free speech, or the constitutional order of the satate/the national community, or expresses sympathy to ideas aiming at that.
In crime movies we often follow the action with anger when we see how the victim tries to find help and protection from it'S murder, and the polcie says "sorry, as long as nothihng happened we cannot do anything for you." and when the victim finally is dead, then the police starts working. why do some of you guys not feel this kind of anger when people abuse free speech for the above mentioned purposes?
