Looks like Racists doing racist things - the best part is that it starts by changing definitions. This is EXACTLY why the whole "words = violence" thing was a mistake.
Once you can control speech by associating danger to something interpreted; the next step was to start changing definitions.
Once you change definitions you can then start creating exemptions.
Once you made exemptions you made the rules irrelevant.
I understand the idea that a threat (I am going to kill X) is not cool - but when people started stripping away context for convenience we headed down this uncomfortable road.
