It used to be common for movies and tv shows to get held if their content clashed with horrific real life events, e.g. a show with a school shooting wouldn't be released immediately after a real life school shooting.

But just days after two police officers are ambushed sitting in their car and both shot in the head (during a period of some of America's worst and most volatile civil unrest) these servile weasels release some of the most partisan and pandering political content I've ever seen, specifically encouraging the incitement of violence.

One of the very few areas in which the abuse of free speech can legitimately be punished (after the fact) is in the direct incitement to violent or harmful acts. I'm pretty sure this doesn't technically fall within those laws but just as sure it violates them in spirit and intent.

If an extremist priest whips his devout flock into a rabid frenzy of hate and then tells them to go out and kill some gay/black people for God, he is held partially responsible for the crimes they commit based on the fact that he knew his actions were certain to produce violent harm. There is no way the people making this excrement are not aware that those watching it will use it as justification for their own future violence.

The police across America need to start a watch list of citizens who have effectively given up the privilege of receiving assistance and when Sorkin and his ilk invariably turn them in future in desperate need of help, they should tell them instead to once again appeal to the mob.
