In short, any restriction on free speech should be only in cases
where immediate physical harm is obviously present, like shouting
fire in a crowded theater.
[Platt on July 9, 2007]
I'm not a free speech scholar but I think there's a restriction on
speech that incites violence. Flag-burning may come under such a caveat.
[Arlo]
Are you reversing your position on flag burning, or do you think flag
burning is a case where "immediate physical harm is obviously present"?
Also, do you still think that "inciting violence" is a case where
free-speech should be restricted? How do you differentiate "inciting
violence" from "inciting hatred"?
Final note, when the U.S. military says that a protest where it was
planned to burn Korans will directly lead to violence against U.S.
troops overseas, do you think this is an instance where the
protestors should have had their free-speech restricted?
