Would John actually use violence if someone tried to prevent him
from saying fuck or showing people fucking to that person's children?

As someone who is not from the USA, I find such a comment strange given the
fairly "pro-liberty" overtones to this interminable and occasionally
fascinating thread. He hasn't hurt anyone has he? Isn't he free to do what
he wants? He's made a lot of money doing something harmless, shouldn't you
be cheering him on?
Hell, the irony of it tickles me to death. Good luck to him, I say.
