You don't kick a hornet's nest. You don't tease a mean dog.
The provocateurs in Garland Texas set out to offend Muslims, and succeeded. Two guys with assault rifles showed up. A lot of "innocent" people could have been killed. Two fools are dead. The offensive contest to draw a picture of Mohammed is seen as protected by the 1st Amendment. As I understood it: freedom of speech does not include falsely crying "fire" in a crowded theatre. If you're likely to get people killed, it's not protected speech.
Beyond that, there is the question of how a guy who had been on a terrorist watch list since 2006 was able to buy an AR-15. How? Thank the NRA and the Republicans, and the Democrats who know that any kind of reasonable gun regulation will get them slammed by the gun lobby.
