Heckling is not against the law last I checked.
- rickydroll 1y agoAt first, I thought it was a protected form of speech. TIL, I was wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler%27s_veto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler%27s_veto
- Volundr 1y agoYour link does not back up your claim that heckling is illegal. In none of the cases mentioned in that article is heckling found to be illegal.
- rickydroll 1y agoHere is a better article that I intended to post, plus a couple more for some nuance on 1a protected speech vs. regulated speech https://nefac.org/is-heckling-a-speaker-a-crime/ https://nefac.org/is-heckling-a-speaker-a-crime/ https://www.aclumich.org/en/cases/hecklers-veto https://www.aclumich.org/en/cases/hecklers-veto https://stanfordmag.org/contents/the-first-amendment-does-not-give-protesters-a-heckler-s-veto https://stanfordmag.org/contents/the-first-amendment-does-no....
- Volundr 1y agoNone of these establish heckling as illegal. The first two are about the police not being able to arrest the target of the heckling for incitement (which, yeah, clear 1st amendment violation), the last is about Stanford imposing limits, which is entirely different from the government doing so.
