Quote:I can't yet understand how someone can defend the protesters' actions. Free speech doesn't mean you can physically stop others from doing the same. While they may not have attacked anyone, they prohibited others from lawfully displaying their own. I don't believe that they should be deported, however. What they didn't isn't protected by the First Amendment. 

 

Who is defending the protestors actions? 

 

They're idiots.  They are certainly entitled to speak their minds, but when they become disruptive, they're breaking the law.  They're bothered by a movie.  Nobody is forcing them to watch it.  They can certainly express their displeasure that the movie is being shown, but when they disrupt that from occurring, they should be asked to leave, and if they don't, they should be cited for disrupting the peace.  If they continue their shenanigans, they should be removed.  If they resist, that's another charge.  They don't need to be deported for anything they're saying, even if it's the most blatant, anti-American rhetoric ever uttered.  But, just as they have a right to speech, those who were there to see the movie have a right to a peaceful and safe environment.
