This is more akin to if you sold a fatty food in a supermarket and someone died from being overweight.

Radicalizing someone to do this isn’t a crime. Freedom of speech isn’t absolute but unless someone gives them actual orders it would still be protected.

Don’t apply UK’s lack of freedom of speech in American courts.

  And how did that case end?
  
  Hint: Not well You try to sue anyone for anything. There’s just no guarentee it’ll work, and it didn’t there.

    so?
    
    the case in OP is still going on so we don’t know how it will end yet. I was just pointing out something that already happened cause the metaphor used matched that case. Like, it was funny to mention something like that when it already happened and we know how it played out.
    
    We don’t know how the case in OP is gonna play out. You can’t predict the future.
