Freedom(s) of speech includes freedom to abstain from speaking/demonstrating. Not only where our 5th Amendment promises to allow us not to incriminate ourselves, but also for the sake of being sincere, information-gathering, private and silent. As individuals seek to admit information, they may also seek to take a position of introspection, even non-support, these are all valid opportunities of self-expression and self-rule positions in the United States of America.
As express-ors and consumers we must strive toward physical safety and sincerity, which are, to me, the most important factors in self-representation.
I wish those who wish to illegally confront freedom(s) of speech consider what they might be able to achieve with peaceful protest and self-acquisition of our USA's First Amendment.
Our World consists of a community with multiple opinions, desires and points of view. It is an act of obscenity to interfere on the rights of fellow community members. Turning one's self in before committing crime to redirect, or facing one's opportunity to be guided by a jury/judge is a part of the current terrorism (sic) that is grossly absent.
First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
