The Reichstag fire of the Left

A madman angry about bad grammar and "conscience dreaming" shoots 19 people, which is all the excuse Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins need to demand more curbs on free speech - especially on the speech of those who don't share his Leftist ideology:

Today's culprit is freedom of speech, or at least the speech of the American right and its broadcast cheerleaders. Shock-jock radio presenters feed on biased television news to present a view of the world divided between goodies and baddies. The baddies are always on the brink of victory and must be confronted with virile aggression. Language that might not disturb a balanced mind can clearly stimulate and legitimise an unbalanced one... Free speech cannot exist without chains.
