Read the article. Free Speech is not the issue. Its Disorderly Conduct.

Nehls also posted an portion of the Texas law regarding disorderly conduct:

“Sec. 42. 01. DISORDERLY CONDUCT. (a) A person commits an offense if he or she intentionally or knowingly:

(1) uses abusive, indecent, profane, or vulgar language in a public place, and the language by its very utterance tends to incite an immediate breach of peace;

(2) makes an offensive gesture or display in a public place, and the gesture or display tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace;”

If words become equated with action, then violent action becomes a response to language. You have a sign that says “I support Trump” then a leftist punches you in the face. Equating language with action, which this law does, is one of the most dangerous things happening right now, and it need to stop.

I'd say they have a case.

Guy drives a GMC Sierra.

Isn’t that punishment enough?

You’re obviously not a Constitutionalist.

I’d take this to SCOTUS. Texas law.is egregiously wrong.

By that definition calling a BLM protestor “stupid” is disorderly conduct.

Let the man be and /or let nature take its course. This is Texas after all.
