How does calling for the figurative lynching of anyone who says anything stupid actually help anything in America? Do the activists think calling for her head on a platter actually helps? Does it make America a better place or a more divided place? You can bet most people hear about this story and think, "Oh, no, here we go again," and move on with their lives.
I suspect that in America in a few years we will have hate speech laws to match hate crime laws. Some Western countries are already moving in that direciton. Then it will get really interesting.
