"just" free speech? Might want to check your pocket constitution again. The first amendment also protects the free press- and the freedom to assemble. (Not to mention religion and to petition for redress of grievances)
- chasd00 6y agogeez 3 weeks ago all those freedoms were widely thrown out the window yet now they are unassailable?? /done with HN for today
- lostmsu 6y agoAdmittedly, I have no pocket constitution, but brisk search only talks about peaceful assembly, which riots are not. Besides, you completely ignore the "who can be where" point.
