When someone's free expression starts inferring with national security, I'm not sure it should be free.
Let's say you had the passwords for Pentagons servers. Would it be free expression to give these to Putin? I doubt it.
The book burners know exactly what buttons they're pressing and they do it for that reason.
Religiius nutjobs and fascist nutjobs have no place determining what we can and can't do in society.
Lets take a comparable example.
Some armed people break into a bank and are robbing it. While they are busy carrying out their loot someone notices them but isn't noticed by them. That person can see that they are armed and will likely start shooting if he tells anyone. Should that person then be held responsible for the violence if they inform the police or even other members of the public about the bank robbery? Should they be legally obligated to not tell anyone because violence might happen if they do?
That's not comparable at all.
