Freedom of Speech: You can choose what you say, but you can't choose others' reaction to what you say.

I don't care if he was yelling "I love Bush!" in my ear, I would punch him in his fat gut for talking during a Skynrd concert. Now if he burned a US flag, that's another story.

there's a time and a place for everything. and opening your yap during the middle of a tribute to the troops is NOT one of them. the guy was an idiot, and got what he deserved. end of story.

Actually, saying the president should be assassinated is one of the few examples of speech that is not constitutionally protected. Along with yelling fire in a theater, of course.

To anyone who has not read the Constitution lately, the Constitutional right to Freedom of Speech would in NO WAY bar or prohibit Trapps or any other private citizen from expressing dissatisfaction with the speech-giver. He can beat the crap out of the guy all he wants and he would not be depriving him of any constitutional rights.

While the whole flag burning thing was going on in the early 90's, a politician, who didn't agree that burning the US flag was protected as free speech, gave some good advice. If you don't like what someone is saying, start a riot. The person has the right to say what they want, but might be charged with inciting a riot.

Except the loudmouth is still protected by other laws, such as those against assault. In reality, few people would have a problem with the fatarse getting a beatdown, but at the same time, anyone who did so would technically be guilty of assault. Legally, you can't physically assault anyone who says something you disagree with.
