Regardless of how vile Milo's speeches are, unless he's inciting violence against or threatening someone, it's legal. The ones that are being violent in response to speech are the ones that should be arrested.

Imagine if someone vocally criticized Jesus in some backwater Alabama town, and got punched in the mouth for it. Do they not deserve protection from that? Or is that just another "result of their speech?"
"If he didn't want to get hurt he should shut the hell up" is an extremely reckless and dangerous viewpoint to hold.
Yup it is just a result of free speech free speech comes with responsibility it's not a freebie and those without conviction should shut up
...Are you saying that it's okay to respond with violence to speech that upsets you?
