Rushing the stage behind someone’s back is not making political speech.

Holding a negative sign or walking out, or turning your back on them, is. Flipping the bird is.

His right to free speech did not include trying to get onto a stage. He has no right to be on that stage. Or try to get on it.

Yeah, to me it is about intent. When someone runs full bolt at you, you do not know their intent. Someone I don't know bolts at me, I will put them down.

I'm sorry, but since when is any of your quoted response ‘free speech’?

That is disrupting someone else’s rights and literally hijacking their event for your own gain. If they wish to hold a rally to say ‘Trump is bad’, then hold that event. Get the permits, pay the fees, arrange security, arrange for the common comfort, etc.

I really do miss the time when theft wasn't accepted by so many.

I am surprised people are allowed to shout obscenities during a presentation AT A VENUE THAT IS CLEARLY PAID FOR BY SOMEONE ELSE AND ATTENDED BY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HEAR THAT PERSON.

Why is this not against the law? It’s like hating what a rapper says, going to one of his concerts, and standing and screaming. The left would be furious - if you don’t like him, stay home!
