I think it's fair to make certain events, like funerals, off-limits to protest. Freedom of speech does not mean you are free to say anything you want wherever

I think it's fair to make certain events, like funerals, off-limits to protest.
Freedom of speech does not mean you are free to say anything you want wherever you want. I can't just walk into the Oval Office and start hurling obscenities at the President, and attempting to do so is likely to get me shot by the Secret Service.

I can't just walk into the Oval Office and start hurling obscenities at the President, and attempting to do so is likely to get me shot by the Secret Service. For trespassing. This example has nothing to do with speech.
- bawolff 4y agoIt has the same amount as the thing this article is about, which makes it a good comparison (the article also has nothing to do with the content of the speech)
- jakelazaroff 4y agoThe article definitely has to do with the content of the speech: > Similar reports emerged Monday, including one case involving a man who was seen being forcibly removed from a parade barrier after shouting at the royal procession leading to the cathedral. He was reportedly heckling Prince Andrew. This comparison just has nothing to do with speech at all. It’s categorically different. You’d get arrested for breaking into the Oval Office even if you remained silent the whole time.
- tastyfreeze 4y agoYou can hurl all the obscenities you like at the President. You might be removed from the property but you won't be shot.
- babypuncher 4y agoI think forcing your way into the Oval Office uninvited is a pretty easy way to get shot.
