Freedom to speak does not grant you freedom from consequences for your speech.... Business owner had his say, the Vet has his.

Let the owner try to prosecute him for vandalism and theft.... Somehow I doubt the coward will. And if he does, good luck finding a jury who’s going to convict.

I agree with that. The question is, how far do people condone it going? Vandalism? Assualt? Lynching?

Take the Jenna 6 situation. Was that an acceptable form of counter speech?

Free speech counters free speech. Vandalism is not free speech and I don't think it's protected as such under 1A

You might be right that he won't prosecute. However, if he did, I doubt this case would go to a jury.
