    Of course there is no such thing as "unprotected hate speech." Even if a legislature passed a law tomorrow that created that kind of exception to the right,or if a court overstepped and mangled the Bill of Rights, it wouldn't change the actual intent of the first amendment with regard to a free press, which was supposed to keep government from censoring.

    It doesn't mean we haven't screwed around with the right to varying degrees over our history -- we had two major sedition acts, for example. But those weren't inherent "exceptions" built into the right. They are notable examples of one of the branches of our government overstepping and trying to trample on the right.

    Police shot and killed a man Thursday after he tried to enter a northern Paris police station wielding a knife, a French Interior Ministry spokesman told CNN affiliate BFMTV.

    The man was shouting "Allahu Akbar," Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said.

    He was wearing what appeared to be an explosive vest, but it turned out to be a fake, a police source told CNN.

    The attack, which occurred in Barbes, near the police station in Goutte D'Or, took place on the one-year anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo killings, the first of deadly jihadist attacks that have roiled the French capital over the past 12 months.

    That fake vest really makes a statement, doesn't it.

    The guys in Oregon need some fake suicide vests. Maybe then someone would be terrorized by them, instead of laughing at them.

    On the bright side, no Italians are likely to shoot up their office in response.
