What Is The Name Of This Logical Fallacy

[Trevorblack2014]

I was in a conversation with a guy who said "You might not find soldiers being injured or killed, a form of entertaiment but some people do and who are you to stand in their way?

This was after I confronted someone for mocking the deaths of soldiers in a military group on some website.

It is not a logical fallacy, it's just pig ignorance.

Here are a few websites that might explain this type of behaviour, although I tend to go for the 'lack of empathy' one:

This attitude resembles that shown by German troops in WW2, who executed defenceless civilians in occupied zones.

Is it not a play on "standing in their way" meaning literally as a target or figuratively as a hindrance?

@Trevorblack2014

Although the example the other person chose is abhorrent to most of us they are basically just pushing the boundaries of "freedom of speech/thought" to its very limits.

Which is kind of the point of most freedom of speech arguments: how repellent/intolerant/unempathic/perverted are we willing to put up with.

The catch is, once you draw a line *anywhere* you can no longer claim to uphold freedom of speech in your country. Some countries make much more of a fuss about it than others. Britain does not have a formal constitution to get hung up about.

Anyway I see no logical fallacy. I do, however see crapulence. (you won't find that in the dictionary though; please don't pass it on).
