Too many people think free speech is the right to walk into any room and yell anything you want.

    Too many people think decorum and tradition will stop proto-fascist hacks who abandoned both decades ago.

    A day off from trying to stop fascism? No, no I don't think I will. Thanks though, I appreciate the concern! I just got back from vacation anyway.

    I'll have you know I'm past fully grown and well into already dying. Old enough to know that caps = yelling, sorry you must be too young to know that. But I'm glad you know where you are right now, I know dementia is often worse at night.

    If law enforcement can legally remove you from a public forum for confronting your elected officials, how free is your speech really?

    Not defending the police, but there's a difference between being removed for being a disruption and being arrested for what you say.

    Protest by its nature is disruptive. So you support police being free to end protest? To detain people because they’re an inconvenience to fascists?

    but he's not protesting. he's yelling over other people and it's being offered here as him being prevented from using free speech. the people he is shouting over also have the right to free speech. it is not a privilege for those who can shout the loudest at a meeting.
