The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Free Speech

Yes, the First Amendment protects such speech. HOWEVER, I'm not sure that threats to people's lives or inciting people to do damage to property, etc. is allowed. I also strongly believe that the Supreme Court of the United States erred seriously when it ruled that burning the American Flag was protected under the "Free Speech" clause of the First Amendment no less than they erred in the Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973) case. Of course, that was eventually overturned. It was 100% bogus, fabricated, and had absolutely no merit on its face and the Court recently admitted that there is nothing in the Constitution that was even remotely salient to the issue. What the Constitution DOES state as does the Declaration of Independence that ALL are guaranteed the "right to LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS". But back to your question, if you threaten someone with bodily harm, you can be arrested in this country. The fact that no one is enforcing that law and those akin to it is a testament to the depravity and bias of those who are responsible for enforcing such laws. It is also illegal to block traffic or normal travel in any manner during a protest. But again, that isn't being enforced in many of these pro-Hamas/anti-Israel protests/riots. We are currently living in a time when laws are being ignored or wrongly applied with little accountability. Of course, God's law(s) are totally ignored by the masses too but there WILL BE accountability for every lawbreaker. Justice will ultimately be administered and punishment applied. Christians are likewise incontrovertibly guilty and have been judged already and punished in Christ. As humans we must fight for justice on earth but also accept the fact that it is not always going to happen.
