Their speech is just as precious as yours or mine, and deserving of all the attendant protections.

Serving in the military was your choice, and good for you, but don't try to tell me that your service did anything to protect my rights. It didn't do that.

The Constitution does that, and how often, in your military service - where, I might add - your Constitutional rights were suspended in deference to the USMJ - did you take part in anything having to do with citizens' Constitutional rights?

There are no repercussions to legally protected free speech, and that is the essence of America. You clearly do not understand that.

"... they can encourage them to leave." What a repugnant thing to say. Thinking like that is betraying yourself as a thug and bully where free speech is concerned.

They were legal - the looters were outlaws. How's that for irony?

Go read the Bill of Rights and discover exactly what it means, that pesky free speech thing that seems to bring out the worst in otherwise decent people.

You might learn a thing or two if you stick around DU.
