Because you disagree with the content of their protest. Holding this type of belief is dangerous to a free society. You should have no expectation of freedom if you do not believe that people you disagree with should have any.

Principle seems like a foreign idea to some FReepers.

Nobody is especially worried about a bunch of leftists chanting and waving signs around. The problems is all of the destruction that this mob always seems to bring with it. Breaking windows and burning cop cars isn't, in my view, 'speech'.

It would be hunky-dory if these f-ing bastards would just protest.The problem is they tear up everything in site.If you can gurantee that they will not destroy the towns then I will gurantee that they can have 50k if they want them.Fair enough? The kicker is you pay if they dont obey.

I hate to say it, but I think there are plenty of freepers who would be perfectly content with any and all restrictions on the other side. The problem is that sooner or later, everyone is on "the other side".
The attitude that these restrictions are OK surprises me in about the same way as those freepers espousing monarchism.
