Black Lives Matter co-founder says hate speech 'not protected by First Amendment'
americanthinker.com ^ | 8/15/2017 | Rick Moran

The founders carefully and deliberately defined the First Amendment so that only a village idiot at the time could mistake its meaning. "Congress shall make no law..." is about as clear a statement of intent as can be found in the document.

Hate Speech...you mean like when BLM marches down the street chanting:

What do we want?
Dead cops!
When do we want them?
Now!

Is that what he's talking about?

Does that mean BLM can’t shout about killing cops anymore?

"Being white will be a hate crime."

Worth repeating.

If this clown believes that the First Amendment doesn’t protect hate speech, then BlackLivesMatter ought to be the first group to shut up. If giving a nod and a wink to the murder of policemen and the destruction of public and private property isn’t “hate speech”, then what is?

You could fit the entire intellectual capital of BLM and ANTIFA into a mouse brain, and it would only make the mouse dumber.

"Hate speech" is code for "political speech I don't like."

Political speech is the exact speech protected by the First Amendment.

And of course only the left gets to determine what speech is ‘hate’ speech. And that is definitely any speech that deals with reality rather than the lies and out of control allegations spewed by sjws, snowflakes, professional race baiters etc.

"...Alright, then I find “Black Lives Matter” to be a hateful and offensive statement..."

Exactly!

“F*ck the Police” sounds like hate speech to me

The speech some hate is magically presented as hate speech; dissenting intellectual positions become mental conditions; and contrary opinions are delegitimised – after all, there’s no need to argue with a mad man or woman.
This is censorship by way of intellectual pathology. - Ben Shapiro

Last February the Kentucky State Supreme Court struck down a law against panhandling, saying it violated freedom of speech.

Now we have bums begging with their cardboard signs at every major street intersection in Louisville and Lexington, and they are spreading to the smaller towns as well.

The annoying part is that I hear the panhandlers can make $350-$500 a day, more than I earned when I had a job! Something’s not right here, and I wish I could think of a fair solution.
