Incorrect. By her holding a severed head, she in essence called for him to be assassinated..

and as

shows, that is illegal.

Telling your fans that you should beat people up and he will pay the legal bills is -also- a crime.
So is profiting of public service
So is obstruction of justice
So is running a scam "university"
Should I go on?

If someone's breaking the law, HOW can they be good?

Do not confuse law with morality. The FF, were they good? They broke the law, they were traitors.

Since when has 'malice' made a difference in whether what you do is a crime or not'?

It affects punishment.
OK Mr illegal, you did the wrong thing, you get deported, Illegal junior, you get a suspended sentence, so if you do anything else illegal, you get deported as well, be good and that's the end of it. -all kinds- of trials end up with a finding of guilt and no immediate punishment via suspended sentences.

Would a mother who steels bread to feed her starving children be bad? Where the people involved in the underground railroad bad? How about the partisans in WWII occupied territories, were they bad people? How about every Confederate soldier (Treason is a high crime), were they bad solely because of their treasonous acts? Speaking of treason, as GF mentioned, is the very nature of our existence as a country bad because of the manner in which it was conceived? Rosa Parks broke the law, was she bad? How about Gandhi? He broke a few laws too. Do I really need to go on here?

Well, the NFL overpaid hacks are at it again, with entire teams taking a knee, disrespecting the flag/anthem.. Seems like i will be boycotting the ENTIRE ****ing league. And since i don't watch the NBA, MLB or NHL, that leaves only UFC and MLS to watch (For USA sports)..

[jelgate]

Given the millions and millions the NFL brings in I doubt any boycott is going to matter

[Annoyed]

Boycott or not, the on field antics of these spoiled rich kids is hurting the viewership.

I expect the league's owners will stifle this nonsense in the coming off-season.

Absolutely, the players have the right to their opinions, and the right to express them. But not while they're on the clock, in uniforms provided by their employers. Write a letter to the editor of the local paper, take out their own TV advertising, whatever. I don't care. But not while they're on their boss's time.
