re: The First Amendment is being burned to the ground

You idiots don’t understand the first amendment

Free speech doesn’t equal freedom from consequences. A private company like the university of Texas doesn’t have an obligation to tolerate your inflammatory rhetoric. It’s not like the Congress is legislating this stuff.

Yes THAT is a first amendment violation, not the cops on riot gear violently breaking it up.

My God. This is one of the more stupid statements made.

I support free speech.

Free speech is not being able to go protest wherever they want.

Free speech is not blocking traffic.

Free speech is not preventing students free safe passage to and from their classes.

Free speech is not harassing people.

Free speech is not breaking into building.

Free speech is not then locking those buildings.

Free speech is not disturbing the peace.

Free speech is not being able to do whatever the frick you want a long as you support a terrorist organization.

So yes, I support free speech. If you get permission to protest, you are allowed to protest non violently in certain areas following the laws set down beforehand.

And the police pretty much dispersed the illegal gatherings that were breaking multiple laws with kid gloves.

Question for you. Do you honestly believe the police were violent? Did you think used excessive force?

You understand the illegal gathering was not following legal police orders? What do you recommend when people do not voluntarily follow legal police orders? The police then have to force these people to disperse all the whole getting abused by the protesters.

So your statement here is so wrong is difficult for sane rational people to follow.

I won't say it is the most ridiculous statement ever on this board because honestly those would be incredulity big shoes of stupidity to fill.

But it is a notably moronic statement.
