A couple of kooks shot up a klan rally in Texas

That's pretty much how I see the Texas shooting.

1. The "contest" is nothing more than a way to spread hatred of Muslims.
2. The people that attacked the contest are violent lunatics.
3. The people that organized, participated in, attended, and hosted the contest are hate filled Islamophobic bigots.
4. In America, people have the right to organize, participate in, attend, and host hate filled Islamophobic meetings peacefully.

Basically, the worst people the world has to offer "provoked" each other. They are both wrong, but those that shot up the contest are criminally wrong.

It seems that these rights are being abused. What do we do to convince people to respect their rights by being responsible citizens?
