re: PSA: The 1st Amendment doesn't shield you from criticism or consequences

You seem to think that the 1st Amendment only means that the government cannot arrest you for exercising free speech but it has zero responsibility to actually protect your free speech rights. If a group of violent individuals threaten violence and mayhem to prevent my speech, and it would cost the government any money at all to protect me, then my 1st amendment rights must be forfeited.
Why do I pay taxes again?

Even better.
Since he knows that no government would stand for violent groups preventing minorities from speaking, he's effectively saying that the government can SELECTIVELY protect people's right to free speech...........and somehow...........that stupid shite wouldn't violate the constitution.
LOL. Can you imagine. A government takes the official position that it cancels the events of one group for "security concerns" but would almost certainly call in the National fricking guard if another group was being attacked.
Yeah. THAT's the American DS WANTS to live in.
