Mr. Fonzi: however much I appreciate your dedication to defending our first Amendment right to free speech, you gave not one single example of a violation of said freedom. When you invoke the First Amendment, you are referring to governments' quashing of such freedoms; alas, you only alluded to examples of free individuals deciding to protest someone else's speech, not any kind of government crackdown. Is it rude? Sure. Is it childish? Perhaps. But is it a violation of the speaker's freedom? Not unless it's implemented by an agent of the government.
