This is what democracy looks like

They wanted everyone to go to the "free speech" cage.

The whole country is a free speech zone.

The goons are the ones being arrested.

I think soon they may designate a barren 10 square mile patch of desert in Arizona as the 'free speech' zone for the entire country. Want to protest in New York? You have to go to the free speech zone in Arizona and yell really loud.

This is how freedom is lost, not by some great event but by tiny miniscule cuts. Death by a thousand cuts.

Wrong.

Like all rights the right to free speech is not ‘absolute,’ it is subject to reasonable restrictions by government, where such restrictions consistent with First Amendment jurisprudence do not constitute free speech being ‘lost.’

Consequently, the entire country is not a ‘free speech zone,’ there are time, place, and manner restrictions, content neutral restrictions, and incidental restrictions which are perfectly Constitutional, restrictions that in no way ‘violate’ or ‘undermine’ the right to speak freely or engage in self-expression.

For example, citizens have the right to peaceably assemble in public places, but they do not have the right to establish long-term ‘sit-ins’ or ‘sleep-ins’ on public property or throughways; these activities are not entitled to Constitutional protections (Clark v. Community for Creative Non-Violence (1984)).

The threat to our rights and protected liberties, therefore, comes not from government acting in accordance with Constitutional case law, but from citizens ignorant of that case law.
