Well it would seem to me that Freedom of Speech issues are often not understood by both the people who react with violence on an issue of speech, and those who believe that Freedom of Speech means the individual does not have to accept the consequences of their speech.

Are you posing that Freedom of Speech means that the one can write and draw anything that one wants without accepting responsiblity for the words.

There is a venue for such type of writings - normally found on the walls in bathrooms where little children write and draw racist comments about others.

One can understand why the drawings were done, and still call it unacceptable. A concept that it seems some in Europe have forgotten.
