And once again when conservatives are confronted with speech they disagree with the response is to demand their arrest.

Arresting people who trespass to disrupt classes at a private university is going against free speech?

Arresting people who break into buildings and refuse to let matience workers leave (kidnapping) is going against free speech?

Those are questions for you to answer. This community’s conservatives pay lip service to free speech in the absolute sense but abandon it when you disagree.

If you could be honest, where do you draw the line for the expression of free speech?

  Trespassing on private property to protest is not and should not be protected. It has nothing to do with what they are protesting.

    Nor should destruction of property, denying other students access to the campus, breaking and entering, etc.
    
    NY should put their anti-mask law back on the book as well. Let the cowards show their faces.

  If you could be honest, where do you draw the line for the expression of free speech? Nice strawman, but this isn’t about free speech. When is it speech to take over a building, take hostages and tear the building up?
  
  If you call this free speech, you must say that Jan 6th was free speech. At least Jan 6th didn’t have hostages.

Terrorists just want to terrorize.

That is why I didn’t post anything until they grossly violated the law. I support even stupid protests, but once they turn lawless, it’s time to shut them down.
