Ultimately, we're all responsible for our own actions, violent or not.
However, it is essential that those with powerful sway, be cognizant of what they say, do and place out in the world.
Unfortunately, there are those who are mentally unstable or dangerously extreme (one in the same?) who will take those bits of information and go to an irrational and sometimes deadly place.
But we must also be aware that we live in a country that was built on free speech. If we attempt to control this, we are infringing on rights. But make no mistake, those who preach ignorant, biased and hateful rhetoric should most definitely be held morally accountable.
