So PLEASE help it go viral!

[usconservative]

ROFL! Well played.

[Be Careful]

Can Trump get a restraining order against eg MoveOn?

[Lexington Green]

Laws do not apply to Leftists. DOJ/FBI have made that abundantly clear.

-post the link to your FB page .... I did

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I just sent it to Trump

[FirstFlaBn]

Even more useful would be a demand to prosecute on conspiracy to violate this law. Hello Twitter.

[usconservative]

Soooooo, when I'm arrested for protesting a Shrillary Clinton gathering here in Illinois I can expect to be arrested and prosecuted then.

PERFECT!

"Judge, why aren't any of the BLM protesters who were arrested in Chicago, St. Louis and Ohio being prosecuted and isn't this an unequal application of the law?"

Can't wait to see the answer to that question!

A University is not private property. What are you talking about?!

And Hello Facebook!

While they cleaned up the Facebook site they used to plan it and removed all the incindiary posts before and after the "protest" Facebook DOES have archival functionality and a subpoena for those posts could easily be served with demand for the posts and identity of those posters.

Just sayin'.....

[grania]

Should I hold my breath until Cruz, Rubio, Kasich, Sanders, and hillary demand that the protestors be charged?

[usconservative]

Private or public is irrelevant if the grounds are where persons protected by the SS will be visiting.

Corrected.

[Shady]

This is gonna get interesting...

[usconservative]

Hold your breath all you want my friend. Cruz, Rubio and Kasich all showed what sellouts they were with their comments. None of them care what you think or whether or not you hold your breath since you'll just pass out and start breathing on your own again anyway. (That's what I always told my kids when they were young, worked every time. They never held their breath.)

Hitlery and the Commie Sanders only agree with free speech as long as it agrees with them (but you already knew that.)

[mabelkitty]

Really? Then why did that crap stain get charged with misdemeanors and released on $300 bail yesterday?

[usconservative]

Because the Police in Ohio clearly don't know that this is the law.

You raise an excellent point: there ought to be a well orchestrated, PUBLIC PHONE CAMPAIGN to the relevant Police Department to ARREST and properly CHARGE that douchebag.

Sucks to cite a bill - here we go - with the annotations.

I posted this as a reply a day or so ago on this site. Glad you have it posted a main topic.

[Amendment10]

"Free Speech isn't covered ..."

1st Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I never noticed what appears to be somewhat contradictory clauses in 1st Amendment before. More specifically, although Congress is prohibited from making laws abridging the freedom of speech, the people also have the right to peacefully assemble.
