He wasn’t a public figure when the comments were made.

How do you know that? He inserted himself into a public demonstration in a public square. It can be argued that he was making a public political statement. I don’t know for sure, but I suspect that KR was indeed a public figure and therefore protected by less stringent liable laws than most of us.

Wrong.



The Supreme Court has defined public figures as those who hold government office and those who have achieved a role of special prominence in the affairs of society by reason of notoriety of their achievements or vigor and success with which they seek public's attention

Using that logic is like saying you are a public figure because you posted on a political forum..
