Yes, those show actual acts of violence. But to lump in "blocking streets" and "shouting down speakers" with those acts of violence is ludicrous.
Face it, you don't like protest.
I don't mind protests.
Every time someone tries to drive around or edge though a blocked street, the mob descends on the car. There is a strong implied threat to the people that are prevented from moving on.
That isn't "speech".
And the "shouted down"?
That isn't speech. That's preventing some one else from speaking. And there is often an implied threat of violence.
And those riots and attacks? Generally the local lib mayors or college administrators, are there, refusing to do their jobs and maintain order and safety.
This is on you and yours.
"Implied threat"? Get thee to a safe space. Democracy is about confrontation.
The Contest of Ideas does not require physical confrontation.
That is you making an excuse for the dangerous actions of those on your side.
Tell that to MLK. He took to the streets.
I am not making excuses for violence. On the contrary, those who commit violence should be arrested and tried. But the First Amendment not only gives us freedom of speech, but freedom of assembly.
Blocking traffic and attacking people is not "Assembly".
Did you watch the video?
