Fox is a joke.
And this news article is exactly why. We have the right to free speech. Free speech is the ability to say anything I want about the government or the President in the comfort of my own home or in a newspaper or even on line. It does not give us the right to walk up to the President at a public event and scream at him because your kid sister lost her house.
We have the right to protest. But the Secret Service has the fucking right to shoot and kill you if they believe you are a threat to whom ever they are guarding.
I read about Nazi Germany all the time, and people don't seem to understand that back then you made a simple defeatist remark to your neighbor and you were hauled away and never seen again for years.
What they are trying to do here is have a balance between Freedom of Speech (protesting near the President) and protecting him without having to shoot people. That's not too fucking difficult to understand.
