This drives me crazy. I’ve commented this before, but I’ll say it again:
People in the US love to cry first amendment (freedom of speech, etc) any time something they say has consequences.
Sexually harass a coworker? Freedom of speech!
Business owner says something bigoted and people stop patronizing their business? Freedom of speech!
Get banned from a Facebook group for being an ass? Freedom of speech!
Kicked out of a shop for your offensive shirt? Freedom of speech!
Funny how the same people with wE tHe PeOpLe bumper stickers are the ones who haven’t actually bothered to read their own bill of rights. These people also seem to think that “free speech” (as they define it) should only apply to speech they agree with.
