Thread Name: BS: Freedom of speech- Unless we disagree
Subject: RE: BS: Freedom of speech- Unless we disagree
When "other peoples behaviour" consists of marching through a neighbourhood as a way of intimidating the people who live there, and putting them in their place as inferiors - whether as blacks, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, whatever - than there is nothing wrong in feeling entitled to try to change that behaviour.
There is no absolute right to vilify, insult and frighten people, even when that is limited to speech and gesture.
