Okay Mr. “Free Speech” Protector…

Let’s hear it you denounce this…and try to do it without “what about”-ing this time.

What is an illegal protest ?

Whatever the Cheeto Bandito says it is.

Apparently it’s not storming Congress to stop a vote though. That doesn’t count (so long as you wear a red hat while doing it)

Anyone find it ironic Trump uses the platform of “free speech absolutist” Elon Musk to discuss his directives limiting speech?

My position hasn’t changed. As one of the few posters on this board who supports free speech regardless of the political viewpoint of the speaker, I find this objectionable and dangerous.

Good to see you exhibit some principles.

To be clear, I do think there are such things as illegal protests (typically ones that turn into riots)… but I don’t think most college protests fit that description, nor do o think students should be threatened for peacefully protesting, even at events that do turn riotous.

I also don’t think Jan 6th folks should have been in trouble if they were non violent and stayed out of Areas being used for official election proceedings.

pretty much gatherings and protesting should be protected. Violence, property damage, theft, and preventing official government proceedings should not.

Yup….you probably need to sit this one out though
