Hit Man 1st Amendment

Deliberate Intent On the night of March 3, 1993 James Parry shot and killed two people Mildred Horn and Janice Saunders, who were taking care of young Trevor. Trevor was killed after James removed Trevor’s medical device. James used the book Hit Man to get away with the murder, from booking the right hotel to making a disposable silencer. Thankfully, there was enough evidence to prove that James was hired by Laurence Horn to murder Trevor. The investigators found the book in James' possession and a magazine on how to make a disposable silencer. The question at stake is whether or not the novel, Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors, is covered by the first amendment in the case of Rice v. Paladin Enterprises Incorporated.

A leader in the Ku Klux Klan, Clarence Branderburg, gave a speech at a klan rally in the summer of 1969.

The novel Hit Man doesn't tell anyone to actually commit murder. The novel is completely informational, which is protected by the First Amendment, just the same as

The novel Hit Man is a hypothetical literature which can be exaggerated and does not state whether or not to follow the guid or kill anyone. Just as Watts was protected because the statement was hypothetical, the same should be true for the novel. With these cases, we show that Hit Man doesn’t create clear and present danger and it is only informationable so it’s covered under the First Amendment. In the cases of Watts and Brandoberg, both help find the solution to the question at hand. In the case of Robert Watts, who was found not guilty of committing a true threat to the then president L.B.J because his statement was a hypothetical exaggeration. This shows that just because a statement is said or published, it doesn't make it a true and factual statement that should be taken at face value because it can be hypothetical or
