Of course, he can say whatever he wants (with limits on libel, slander and yelling "fire" in a crowded theater) but he's not entitled to be protected from any backlash on what he says. If he doesn't like what others have to say in response, he should stay home.
He obviously is entitled to be protected from backlash on what he says if the backlash involves threats of violence or actual violence.
The police presence was there purely to deal with the backlash of how these people reacted to Milo being there to speak. If they're reacting violently to that in an effort to shut down his freedom of speech then he definitely does have a right to be protected from that violence.
Milo will be loving this, and the free publicity. I agree with that. Pretty much a win win situation for him.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
