So there is no personal responsibility of his stepbrother?

Freedom of speech protects hate speech as well, or else you are creating a mind-police.

Why are you so full of shit. Hate speech is a criminal offence in the UK and I should think throughout the EU.
In fact if one was to tell a foreigner in the UK to go back where he or she came from its also a criminal offence.

The laws concerning free speech aren't part of this discussion. Slavery was legal, holocaust was legal. Legal doesn't mean that something is ethical or "right".

I didn't say..."Go and wank and come back with the results" but go and research the meaning of FOS.

Now be a good boy and go study and no more wanking.

Yes, there is. That may be why he is now in prison.

A gangster boss employs henchmen. One day, he says to one of the henchmen "Kill Mr X". The henchman goes and kills Mr X. Is the gangster boss in any way culpable for Mr X's death? All he did was speak.

That is not an example of my case. In my case, he who says "mr X should be killed" is not a boss. Bosses hold responsibility for the acts of the employees.
