But when your business is hate you will provoke a reaction. I would think that she is absolutely thrilled with the reaction. The bigger problem is that the police cant keep order.
There is hate all over the political spectrum. And "hate speech" is obviously in the eye of the beholder.
We either protect freedom of speech and expression or we don't. If a speaker breaks a law, such as directly inciting violence, then they pay the price.
.
But you have laws that protect people from violence and threats. Why arent they being enforced ?
That's up to the venue and the locality to protect a speaker and their attendees. It's also up to the people who enable and incite the violent protestors to be more responsible, to implore them to give opposing views space.
What do you think of this idea:
Instead of gathering to protest and scream and threaten and shut down opposing speech, how about all those protestors announce that, after the speech, they will be outside the venue with $5 to take each and every attendee out for a cup of coffee to discuss the issues and find areas of agreement like intelligent, reasonable, mature adults?
They could promote it ahead of time and have the MC at the speech announce it. Make a big freaking deal of it. It would be NATIONAL NEWS.
Is the Left serious, or is it just trying to shut down opposing speech?
