To find Tara guilty of defamation, a target of her batshit insanity would need to meet specific burdens of proof. They would need to prove to the court that they don't like to kill, and that Tara knew (or ought to have known) that that wasn't true.
Free speech is damn messy.
One of the rationale of this principle is that setting up a trial to contest defamatory claims is reproducing the defamatory action.
Beside, if someone claims you are a pedophile, a human body eater or like to kill for instance, how could you objectively prove you're not ?
Those who claim things should logically have the burden of proof, especially if it is defamatory.
This is surprising because it seem to me like a common sense limit to free speech. It is also why I feel much safer in France.
There's a reason the Church of Scientology loves suing people in England.
Which is, ironically, exactly what Tara Carreon has accused Inman of doing:
>History is full of evidence of the connection between hate speech and hate action. We need go no further than the Nazi propaganda against the Jews…
>These Techdirt nazi scumbags are doing to Charles what they did to the Jewish lawyers in Nazi Germany. Accusing him of greed and being responsible for the entire economic mess that our country is in. I mean, that is crazy! No group of people deserves to be so wholesaledly condemned, unless they are a criminal organization like the Mafia. I don't even believe in groups! Give every individual identity, dignity, human rights, and freedom.
And now today,
>These children have been corrupted by a corrupt society. And everyone who fails to register an opinion and act in this matter is to blame. They are stupid, silent people, who are absolutely worthless to our society. Really, what good is their life, but a burden to the planet?
Physician, heal thyself.
This just strenghten the global impression that it's a lawyer who can't even control and properly deal with it's own affairs. I guess this is what a lose canon lawyer looks like.
As an european I would add that it contributes to give a very bad image of the USA.
