      Constitution doesn't grant free speech (secures it), but phrase specifically connotes opposition to govt abridgment. https://twitter.com/gokitefly/status/708887944975618048 …

      .@gokitefly Trespassing, assault, battery, etc., by non-govt actors—even to stop a speech—are crimes, not violations of freedom of speech.

      .@gokitefly Conflating support for "free speech" with opposition to crimes by some protesters undermines the concept of freedom of speech.

          .@gokitefly When "free speech" means more than 1A concept, govt is transformed from neutral protector into regulator, making "safe spaces."

          @justinamash sounds like Trump wants a safe space from differing opinions

          @justinamash @gokitefly you're getting this wrong because it's Trump whose speech was violated with the riots. You're better than that.

          @jwativ @justinamash @gokitefly 1st Amendment keeps government from restricting speech. Trump still has the right to say _what_ he wants.

          @tomwalls @justinamash @gokitefly the first amendment doesn't grant the right to free speech; it prevents the government from violating it

          @tomwalls @justinamash @gokitefly Donald Trump has an inherent right to free speech, which was violated by the Bernie mob.

          @tomwalls @justinamash @gokitefly if rights only count because a document grants them, rights don't exist in the first place.

          @tomwalls @justinamash @gokitefly the purpose of the bill of rights is to expressly prevent the government from violating our rights

          @tomwalls @justinamash @gokitefly because governments are the biggest violators by far. That doesn't mean nongovernment actors can't
