I'm all for freedom of speech.

What some people fail to realise when they're caught in hate speech and detrimental things start happening to them is that freedom of speech does not make you immune to the CONSEQUENCES of that speech.

So, if you make public racist, sexist, or generally hateful speech, don't bitch when people respond negatively to you.
