Go to a city council meeting and demand answers.
There is no First Amendment right to shout down a speaker. If a governmental actor, such a public university, sides with the heckler by canceling the event or refusing to protect the speaker against use of force, it has failed to uphold the speaker’s free speech rights.
In Forsyth County v. Nationalist Movement (1992), the Supreme Court held that the First Amendment protects “[t]hose wishing to express views unpopular with bottle throwers . . . Speech cannot be financially burdened, any more than it can be punished or banned, simply because it might offend a hostile mob.”

That’s a good suggestion. I think the se evil creeps get intimidated by lots of photos and videos where they can be identified.
Honkythons are racist
No I was at deer camp
Sorry I missed it
Franklin is not “very conservative”, it’s fairly GOPe with a liberal school board and moderate county manager
It’s about 50/50 northern southern
Very few blacks who don’t stir up much
But it even being mostly white only votes 70% Trump
Mississippi whites on the other hand voted 92% Trump
That’s “very conservative”
However I’m sorry me and my lads missed it but we were awol
Franklin is currently trying to remove all of the monuments to the Confederate Generals that died there and rename all of the streets that were named for them. The City leaders are also wanting to remove all Confederate monuments located there. Franklin isn’t recognizable from the city I helped put on a reenactment in November of 1989.
Thanks, wardaddy, for the correction. Yes, sorry you missed.
Thanks, tbw2. Good points.
I may do that, thanks.
Yes, they are at risk of losing support from the decent people with stunts like this.
Carl, unfortunately, there’s truth in what you say. I hesitate to call these that do this “traitorous participants” as I know we are pro-police, but I understand your viewpoint.
There is certainly an “artsy fartsy” element. And the leftists are either being protected out of fear or some type of agreement.
Agreed. I’ve seen the same thing. Police—like other human beings—often take the path of least resistance.
Yes, jimjohn, this makes sense. I hate to put the police under scrutiny as they get enough of that from the Left. But their job is “to protect and serve,” and if they are falling short in that regard, they must be held to account.
Yeah, exactly, CrappieLuck!
That's not just true of Franklin. Many from Illinois are fleeing this state and heading for Nashville, ruining that great city.
I've seen/heard so many from Illinois heading to Tennessee that this Conservative has taken that state off my list of states to move to when I retire in two years. I took Florida off too for the same reason.
The flight from blue states is infecting red states and is going to destroy this country.
Of course outside agitators will keep at it
On a more positive note I’m noticing here if we don’t get rained out in the next couple of weeks we should have a really good foliage season this fall I was just driving through Belle Meade where I do not live and noticed the trees were starting to turn nicely

“I was just driving through Belle Meade where I do not live and noticed the trees were starting to turn nicely”
Something utterly alien to SoCal, where the only sign of Fall is hot Santa Ana Winds.
