They are not peacefully protesting. They invaded a space where they have no right to be to protest. The first amendment protests journalists who print and those who protest in the public square. An awards ceremony is not the public square. A restaurant is not the public square.We need to start shooting these assholes.
So peaceful protesters should be shot for expressing their first amendment rights? Because that's totally what America is all about. Killing people who are peacefully protesting.
An important component of the right to speak is the right not to listen. A captive audience deprives the public of their right not to listen.
There is no right not to listen. That's something you just made up.
Of course there is.
The First Amendment Right Against Compelled Listening by Caroline Mala Corbin SSRN
You just want to be able to force people to listen to your drivel. Now you have been educated. There is no right to be heard.
That's an article (likely a law review one) making a CASE for a right to not listen. There is no First Amendment Jurisprudence stating that a person has a right not to listen. In fact, if we employ that method, we have no freedom of speech.
I hate some speech like the KKK, The Westboro Baptist Church and many others, but I defend their right to do it. Because if I don't, we lose that right.
