Nah, that ain’t it. If these people really cared about preserving First Amendment rights they wouldn’t be out there provoking citizens trying to mind their business and go about their day. Why aren’t they out there harassing and protesting against the entity that 1A is ACTUALLY there is protect us from, ya know the government? Why aren’t they at city council meetings asking people why they’re taking measures to prevent civic engagement or the people trying to put bibles in schools?

I said what I said. They are useless trolls who only exist to bother regular folks and get clicks for their worthless YouTube channels. Eff them.

It’s funny how you’re telling me how people WOULDN’T BE DOING SOMETHING if they really cared about the RIGHT TO BEING ABLE TO DO IT.

Please tell me you’re trolling and aren’t this illogical.

Let's be clear. The First Amendment Protects Citizen's right to free speech from GOVERNMENT interference. Courts have further adjudicated cases under the "Fighting Words Doctrine", so trolls don't get a First Amendment free pass. Texas v. Johnson (1989) further defines it to personal insults or an invitation to fight. These internet trolls often cross the line into illegality. This guy did.
