Good point. But freedom of speech doesnt mean Freedom of Speech....without repercussion. An example would be telling a USSS agent that I wanted to kill a President. Im allowed to say it, but not without consequence. That is the point that I think is lost here.

Well, not on me. I just don't thinkg that consequences for expressing an unpopular political view should include being assaulted. I'm amazed at how many people here do.
