Our law is WRONG..not ...if a 'reasonable person would'..but 'if an insane, disburbed person would'

[angstlessk]

we need not change our free speech paradigm, just change 'reasonable' to 'insane or disturbed' person

1. Perhaps speech shouldn't be free,

we could mandate a license on a per word basis, subject to regulated guidelines before uttered of course. Failure to obtain said license could be fined up to 2.5% of income.

2. that's ridiculous and typical of the attitude of those who would like to censor

like giving in to the heckler's veto, it gives all the power to the outliers

it's the same "logic" as those who tried to sue ozzy osbourne cause some depressed kid killed himself.

you CANNOT have anything remotely resembling free speech if you have to worry about being responsible for what insane people will do.

it's really scary how many enemies of free speech there are here (and elsewhere)

[Codeine]

3. Ummm, insane people are fucking insane.

"Good morning" can set them off.

That's a profoundly broken idea.

4. An insane, disturbed person would think 'eat at Joe's' was a coded signal meant only for them

One cannot, and should not, attempt to legislate for irrationality. Sorry, but you are terribly naive and need to do some growing up.
