Treating "free speech" as independently protected by gov agnst private actors converts speech f/ natural right into gov-regulated privilege.

@justinamash Another strawman, doesn't apply. In that case the law used to charge the perp was passed with the excuse of protecting rights -
@MaximusEuropa In your mind, Trump's "freedom of speech" was violated. (I disagree.) What does that mean practically and what is the remedy? -
@justinamash The remedy is already in place. Police clear a path through blocked public roads into the venue using legally justified force -
@MaximusEuropa But that remedy would not be to address violation of "free speech" but rather to address other crimes/torts (e.g., trespass). -
@justinamash Sure it would. Those crimes/statutes exist to protect our (recognized) rights otherwise why do they exist? -
@MaximusEuropa You are, in my view, conflating natural right of speech or contractual right to speak at venue with concept of "free speech."
