I declare the use of the word "punish" to be hate speech.

Sorry, the moment you say you agree with this idea, you're starting down a road that goes nowhere good.

Call me names. Call my family names. Use any language you want. I don't care.

The line is when you're calling for a crime to be committed.

"Hate speech" is a convenient tool to target whoever is in power wants to at the moment.

Watch yourself, don't want to fall down that slippery slope.
