I respectfully disagree.
Free speech has its limits. The classic example is the "shouting 'FIRE!' in a crowded theater". It is my opinion they have completely overstepped the parameters of "Free Speech". What they do is dangerous, unnecessary, and quite frankly I wouldn't be sad if it gets them killed.
I spent 8 years in the Army "Defending your freedom" (or whatever bullshit term they're using these days, I enlisted to escape from my familial situation). Not one person I ever met would support these fuckwits.
Edit: And by the way, RIP To Leonard Nimoy, the world is a little worse without him.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
