It may not be the recipient‚ or even the person giving it to them‚ but someone is paying for it. This all comes to show how the economy‚ and even the world‚ works. America’s government has gone through many different stances on this statement

In the shooting case of Trayvor Martin‚ George Zimmerman should not go to prison. A significant amount of speculation exists around the shootings circumstances.

This is the type of speech that I think has the most basis for restriction because of it’s tendency to incite violence because of its outrageous and usually untrue claims about a group of people as a whole. By allowing unlimited free speech we run the risk of creating harm for individuals as was the case in the Keane piece we read for today.
