Fighting back against the mob on one's own is difficult. Doing it with others is probably more effective but as bad if not worse than the intital violence.

I would suggest that the trick is not to allow a situation where mob rule (or the prevention of artistic freedom by any means) ever comes into play. The main way of encouraging such things is for a Government to sit by and watch such methods succeed (as in this case).

But as with all things - if you as an individual ever agree to its limitation or wish to limit this freedom (in any way) - there is a price to be paid.

If you agree that there are some cases where something should be prevented from being said - you then have to accept a censor to make your decisions for you. To blindly accept their opinion on what is acceptable or not.

You don't have to worry about what is censored, who is qualified to do this or where all this censorship may eventually end - if you first simply accept and fight for the the right of others to be able have the freedom of expression that you - hopefully and depending on where you live, may be lucky enough - take as a right.

I feel that if you are fortunate to have this hard-fought freedom - it is criminal and dangerous to treat it so lightly and be prepared to throw it away so easily, as so many people seem to be prepared to do.
