@justinamash The purpose of instituting government is to protect our rights. Your argument that protection of rights=regulation is asinine

.
@MaximusEuropa Criminal/tort/contract law protect rights. Separate "free speech" laws just create "safe spaces," which is regulated speech. -
@justinamash You're not describing protection of rights. You're describing conferring rights which existed before government through statute -
@justinamash The issue at hand is people physically blocking a peaceful assembly in a public venue that was leased, and doing it violently -
@MaximusEuropa We have criminal/tort/contract law to address that. Motive is irrelevant. It is not an issue of freedom of speech. -
@justinamash No one mentioned motive. Those statutes protect our natural rights from infringement by other individuals and are fine -
@MaximusEuropa You mentioned motive. Criminal violation is assault, battery, etc. Stopping a speech is motive. No separate penalty for that. -
@justinamash Not that I stipulate that motive is necessarily irrelevant but where did I mention motive? - 8 more replies

@justinamash I just ask that private actors like protesters allow people to speak without interruption. No govt involved, just civility. -
@justinamash Protest all you want but allow events, speeches etc. to take place w/o disrupting i.e. storming the stage. Even if you disagree

@justinamash Trump nor his fascist fans should expect the govt to shield them from the free speech of protestorshttps://twitter.com/justinamash/status/709106812600107012 … -
ANYBODY
@justinamash has a right to hate speech but not a right to be shielded from protests to said hate speech. that's basically Skokie

@justinamash but not encouraging govt regulation encourages violence and vigilantism. Must be some balance -
