If I recall correctly the decision was based on the notion of freedom of speech being limitless and the Supreme Court justice stated that freedom of speech had limits. Harm was one of those limits. As for this case how are in any position to judge if it caused harm or not? After all I doubt it causes you much harm when people deny the holocaust, but it will cause harm to those who survived the injustice. Harm is an subjective principle and you nor I are in any position to state it did not cause harm.

1. Holocaust denial isn’t illegal in the US (its only illegal in some EU countries). 2) Even in places where its illegal max punishment is jail time & no one to my knowledge has lost his/her head (which is what is likely to happen to this guy). 3) As I sated, crime must equal punishment (for example GS hasn’t chopped your head off for using profanity). 4) Just b/c someone questions established religious dogma doesn’t mean they should die.
