Law professor counsels priest to choose better language.

From the "heh" files:

First Amendment scholar Eugene Volokh of UCLA doesn't like that a well known local priest uses colorful language in addressing a crowd gathered to protest gun deaths in their South Side (Chicago) neighborhood. Specifically, Father Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina's, who is not known for passivity in confronting problems affecting his parishoners, urged action to "snuff out" a gunshop operating across the street from city limits, which allegedly has supplied guns later used in neighborhood killings.

Silence is death.
Words have power.
People come together... in peace to work on their own problems. I can see where you'd fear that. Heh
