Re: Berkeley Police release mugshots of Ben Shapiro protesters
There wasn't physical violence in this situation. The people got arrested. The guy gave his speech. Yet people are still complaining.
Counter protesting can be disruptive and sound angry by nature.
Sounding like an angry protestor is not illegal. If the protest intimidates somebody, that is also not illegal.
I am actually dumbfounded and confused by the typical right wing reaction to these events. I am not being dishonest about anything. You all sound very confused about what freedom of speech is IMO.
Btw, Josie, and she is free to join this discussion, seems think it is a violation of somebody's free speech to protest against he person exercising it in a certain place.
Nowhere has anybody ever said that people cannot voice opposition, and you know that.
What people are sayhing is that physical violence against people that are peacefully marching is not acceptable.
There is a huge difference.
