"Alan Dershowitz: Trump's Riot Incitement Is 'Protected By The First Amendment'"

Dershowit is seeking attention.

Regarding this protected by 1A sillyness:

-- The large size of the mob

-- The violent history of said mob

-- Inciting the mob knowing full well of their violent history and thus the likelihood of violence happening.

Where was the grotesque Alex Jones? For days he was whipping up his idiotic followers to inserrect. I'll tell you where he was. He was safe at home counting his money, that where he was.
