No. You shouldn't be able to protest on a major interstate's bridge disrupting traffic and commerce

Why you don't get this I have no idea. Oh wait, I do



Sounds like you only care about freedom of speech as long as you agree with the speech in question

The right can get off their free speech soapbox now

So you want to make manslaughter legal as long as you’re against the protest in question? 

If you are blocking one of the busiest interstates in the region to scream at the sky I really don't care if you get run over.

The guy below did nothing wrong imo. Bet they won't do that shite again

You didn't answer my question. Why do they have a right to stop me from utilizing a public street to travel where I wish?

Ok, it still doesn’t state what you reported.

Scruffy already posted that he disagrees with a law that criminalizes the “intention”, rather than criminal act.

At the same time, even the LA courts stated that the actions of the O&G companies were both illegal and counter to the law.
quote:

However, co-owners of the land said that the protesters had permission to be there last summer, and it was the pipeline and the companies behind it that were guilty of trespassing. A state court agreed with the landowners in December 2018 and ruled that the pipeline companies indeed trespassed by starting construction without first receiving permission or legally “expropriating” the property under state eminent domain laws. By then, the arrests had already been made

As for the people arrested, there is no further info in that article.

Again, it doesn’t state what you are saying.

And that law’s primary sponsor is a Democrat.

No, you didn't.

Once again, why does a protester have the right to bar me from utilizing a public street or highway?

People are being arrested from private land and being charged with the crime. I guess that’s a slight difference from it being enumerated in the law itself but the point is that these are conservatives seeking to chill free speech, something may who post here pretend never happens.

That is false, as we are all aware that the simple concept of “public funding” does not result in the freedom to trespass or move within certain areas.

They only do if you agree with their opinion.

I'm sure he'd be just fine with the NRA staging a massive pro gun rally on the runways at O' Hare too

Exactly. Because he's a fricking hypocrite.

He'd be screaming bloody murder if there were a bunch of conservatives blocking the road for a protest.

I just want to rub his face in his own bullshite.

No, it’s not:

Most scholars trace the lineage of the public forum doctrine to Justice Owen J. Roberts’s opinion in Hague v. Committee for Industrial Organization (1939), in which he wrote: “Wherever the title of streets and parks may rest, they have immemorially been held in trust for the use of the public and, time out of mind, have been used for purposes of assembly, communicating thoughts between citizens, and discussing public questions. Such use of the streets and public places has, from ancient times, been a part of the privileges, immunities, rights, and liberties of citizens.”

So you have no issues with protesters blocking you from getting home from work on a public road? Or with protesters blocking emergency vehicles?

Yes or no will suffice.
