It’s a slap at our Constitution to disrespect free speech on principle.

If you don’t like someone’s speech there is recourse. MORE speech, including the purest form of free speech there is, boycotts.

Vandalism is not a valid form of free speech.

Seems to me that Vet was speaking loud and clear too...with just as many principles to back it up.

But you and the other apologists go ahead. Push. See what happens.

Show me were Mexico is covered by our First Amendment. Hint, it’s not!

It was not American political speech at issue; the business’s conduct with a foreign flag more likely falls under the auspices of hostile foreign invasion and conquest of US territory.

Lorianne, are you a civil rights lawyer of some sort or is just a matter of living around too many of your liberal Hawaiian neighbors?
