Well, as you see, I opted to respond to a portion of your post, in spite of your vulgar language.
You
erroneously state that I "...attempt to try and imply..." that those who are "exercising free speech rights"
against those who are engaging in hate speech should be condemned for exercising their own free speech rights.
You couldn't be more wrong. And I'm beginning to wonder about your reading comprehension ability because I have
repeatedly stated that this is
not my position.
I would be overjoyed to see a
peaceful counter-demonstration against any assembly engaged in hate speech. Remember that I am the one who conducted investigations and surveillance of neo-Nazis in my federal career. I have also done crowd control duty in riot situations where police officers near me were injured.
My criticism is of the
violence committed by the counter-demonstrators. Watch the videos of the riots. A principal group that engages in violence is the Antifa, typically dressed all in black and having faces covered to avoid identification
because they came with the intent to break the law. In the Boston riots virtually everyone you see committing an assault on police officers is dressed all in black.
As was stated in a previous post, the counter-demonstrators in Boston were there
"to silence the racists." THAT is an assault on Free Speech.
