Empty a machine gun into a full crowd at a metro station, and you'll undoubtedly hit some people who deserve it. That doesn't make your action justified, or the innocent people you kill any less dead. When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
