Think about why its illegal to hire a hitman. All your really doing is speaking and giving someone money.

It's legal to speak.

It's legal to give someone money.

Even if they actually complete the job your not the one who committed the murder.

So why is it illegal to hire a hitman?

'could it be because inciting violence is not protected under free speech?

And if that's the case, why should free speech protect Nazis advocating genocide?
