One could reword that. "An attack on someone's hurtful speech today is an attack on everyone's hurtful speech tomorrow."
If one doesn't consider any speech to be hurtful, the conclusion is rather obvious. If one does, you get to a different place.
If one is the pope, and can write a papal bull settling the hurtful question, one can create a world where the question is obvious and answered.
The question seems to be who is the pope.
Words are not violence, Bob. And no amount of sophistry will change that fact.
Some feel controlling violence is not the only thing the government should do. No confusing of your opinion with universal fact will change that.
The main purpose of government is to ensure that my neighbor neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. And most of the time they can't even do that adequately so why would I want them to do other things?
It really is all mathematics.
