    You’re an idiot. You have the freedom to speak in whatever way you want. You do not have the freedom from the consequences of misusing that very same speech.

    In exactly the same way you have the right to bear arms but do not have the right to use those arms to attack your fellow citizen.

      Free speech means freedom from legal consequences. If it’s a crime to say a thing, and there is a penalty for saying them, then it’s a misnomer to call it free speech.

        That’s where you’ve got this whole concept fucked up. You can say whatever you want. You cannot say whatever you want in any manner that you want. It’s ALL about time, place, and manner. Time, place, and manner restrictions have always and will always be a part of the freedom of speech.
