One day people might actually learn what free speech really is and not what is co convenient for them like the OP.

well tell us then Justin Tarica – what is actual freedom of speech ?

Chris Siemens Freedom of speech entitles you to speak your mine but only as long as it doesn’t interfere with others right to do the same.

shhh – don’t give Justin hints, waiting on what it really is from him 🙂

Getting a little hyperbolic are we? First of all there was no riot. Secondly the court said that the prosecution failed to show evidence that these people were involved in the damage that was done.

Jeff Dick … If there was no riot, how was any damage done?

Freedom of speech does not include rioting, destruction of property that doesn’t belong to you, and criminal acts. Now there are 200 defendants, and the ones who were let go were able to show that they were there in their capacity as medics and peacef…

Jeff Dick i read there was a riot …. and the defendants were charged with rioting if i read it right …. and then they were acquitted, so maybe there was not a riot, and maybe there was and they did not participate …. but my initial statement is still true ,,,, freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom to riot

Karen Tully – well said

Yep, there was no rioting or destruction of property at all…

Chris Siemens You do realize that the US started with riots

How Patton … Oh, now that’s a good excuse. Wow.

How Patton – so you are advocating armed revolt against the organized government in political control of the land ?? because that is WHY there were riots

trust me, there are many on the far left in search of their “all power to the Soviets” moment @ How Patton

Jeff Dick may the protesters & antifa visit your house soon.

Karen Tully First, there must be some evidence that these particular individuals participated in anything other than peaceful assembly. And there was no evidence that they destroyed property or committed any act of rioting. If you are in a bank and the person in front of you robs the bank, that doesn’t make you guilty of bank robbery.

Chris Siemens Read some history. Plus this is a nation of laws. Kettling is a practice of simply rounding up everyone in the vicinity of a riot or demonstration and charging them with crimes. The state can’t convict these, those, they, or them. The state has to prove that a specific person did a specific crime. Mass trials are what dictators do

the judges are traitors to America. they should all be replaced with judges who actually know the law.
