Speech that knowingly puts others at extreme risk of life or limb for no reason is not protected under the First Amendment. This is established fact of long standing, there's no dispute over it. The animals that killed the UN people should be hunted down and killed like mad dogs but the pastor should be prosecuted for manslaughter as well. He is equally responsible, as he, or anyone of common sense, should have known this would happen

The right of Free Speech does not excuse depraved indifference to whether one's actions result in another's death. You can have as big and as fast a car as you like, but if you drive it in a school zone at 100mph and kill someone's child, you should be liable for the consequences.

The guy burned a fucking book, John. He is not responsible for how the those filth overseas react to it. He is entitled to his opinion and entitled to express that opinion.

The difference between this and, for example, libel and slander is that he didn't make up lies about anyone or accuse them of something he knew to be false. Your car scenario also falls on its face because he wasn't 'behind the steering wheel', so-to-speak. He didn't incite anyone to violence, or give them the means.
