Free Speech Stunt In Phoenix Ends Without Serious Incident

Friday's free-speech stunt in Phoenix was heated in terms of the rhetorical back-and-forth but did not end in feared-of violence, according to wire reports. I'm glad cooler heads prevailed.

I don't think much of free-speech stunts. I don't think they're necessary, I think they're frequently a smoke screen for political maneuvering and I think above and beyond those moves play into the hands of people that manipulate politics to unpleasant ends. That said, no one should ever be harmed for expressing an opinion. I can't imagine this changes anyone's minds that perhaps free speech is okay and not threatened, and I imagine we'll have another mosque-proximate event or something like it soon.
