| In practice, the law has to distinguish between general goods and immediate threats. This issue is about the ability to make whatever political statement you want, when and were you want... The fact is that we do not live in a sterile futuristic environment where police are all powerful and citizens are completely brainwashed. Until that day, (which hopefully will never come) freedom of speech is limited by the limits of the executive branch of government to prevent violence against it. The state has the immediate priority of protecting its citizens, and sometimes this is more important than its general priority to protect political statements. |
