A lot of things that are legal still aren't intelligent or morally proper. I can go and start harassing people and be within the law. That wouldn't mean that I would not bear some responsibility for the outcome if those people take offense.
Maybe not enough to be charged with a crime, but at least enough that I wouldn't expect many people to make excuses for the behaviour.
