The Left is Destroying Free Speech In America, and Something Needs to be Done about it
vanity

Posted on 04/27/2017 8:34:32 AM PDT by Cubs Fan

Anne Coulter had to cancel at Berkeley., http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/04/26/ann-coulter-cancels-berkeley-event-amid-protests.html

Now the left wing fascists, have gone after mainstream republicans marching in a parade in Oregon, and shut that down as well https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/04/27/portland-rose-parade-canceled-after-antifascists-threaten-gop-marchers/?utm_term=.c196ce72db72

You can bet that they will not be satisfied with this appeasement. This will only increase their appetite for more.

It's time to get tough--here are some ideas of what can be done--

(1) When there is a free speech event call out the national guard to protect people.

(2) Investigate Berkeley as to who told the cops to stand down--whoever did it-- mayor and/or police chief, charge them with aiding and abetting the rioters.

(3) pass a law that you cannot cover your face during a protest--anyone doing so should be assumed to be involved in illegal activiity.

(4) Declare the Antifa and black bloc extremist hate groups and terrorist groups--use RICOH laws against them and anyone funding them.

(5) No more catch and release--charge rioters with felony federal rioting charges.

Its time to do something about this. The left is destroying free speech. That cannot be allowed to happen.

Rioters should be shot, as is the age-old custom.

Even FOX can't get it right. Ann Coulter did not cancel the speech. The spineless sponsors of the event did. Ann told them she would speak from a tree stump if necessary.

They cancelled her speech.

It is true that the Left sincerely opposes the 1st Amendment right to Free Speech. But I'd argue that the Left's behavior in Oregon is the result of their opposition to another 1st Amendment right -- the right to peaceably assemble.

you're right--the event sponsoirs acted just like the republican congress--total cave. BUT--Coulter could have gone anyway. She probably figured if conservatives won't stand up for free speech, then maybe they don't deserve to have it.

Very unfortunate. but like I said, there are things that could be done about it. Time for trump to get involved. Sending in the national guard and using the justice department would be good starts.

Well it is not a majority of folks though. Just a noisy minority.

Time for places like Berkely to get a little dose of Kent State

6. Give all convicted disruptors and enablers maximum sentences to be served consecutively. That is, if felony destruction of property has a max of 10 years, and the person is convicted on ten counts of such, he serves 100 years. It’s that simple, since he’s doing such to block free expression.

They’re not dying fast enough. In fact, they seem to be winning more often than not these days (shutting down any conservative speakers, legislating from the bench, etc.).

Identify these individuals. Make “WANTED” posters.

They seem to control speech in this country. They can't be too dead if they can do that.

They are like tantruming two year olds-- they need to be told no by the adults, or things will only get worse.

It wouldn’t surprise me if that’s what some Germans said about the Nazis prior to 1932.

And done what? Pick a lock and crash an auditorium?

You don't just "go" and speak. You have to have the room reserved, someone has to unlock the building, someone has to turn on the lights and a/c, etc.

Jeff Sessions needs to investigate Antifa and the politicians and police departments who appease them. Regarding the cancellation of the Portland parade, I have seen no evidence thus far that authorities plan to file any charges against those who made the threats.
