A dangerous road

Tom Moran explains the dangers inherent in an individual — especially one who is a state trooper — engaging in what can only be described as vigilantism. Boycotts and appeals to sponsors and management — even competing broadcasts, letters to the editor and web attacks — are OK. The use of speech to change behavior is what the First Amendment is about.

But publicizing the address of someone you find obnoxious can’t be defended. It is intimidation.
