Nope, they do not have a right to disrupt an event.

But let the proper authorities take care of the situation.

Unless the guy was physically threatening someone, the audience should not be physically assaulting them. Its not their job. Leave it to the authorities to take care of the situation, unless people in the audience felt their life to be in imminent risk.

It's a tough one, for me.

On one hand I feel punching that nitwit was wrong. On the other hand: I feel people would act out less if punches in the face (for bad behavior) happened regularly.

You morons are so inconsistent when it comes to physical assault vs free speech its hilarious.

Bottom line: NOBODY has the right to assault someone if they do not like what they say.

Yup.

If getbiggers like the message, then free speech applies.

When getbiggers dislike the message, free speech does not apply. Only violence.

Its crazy to be honest. They hold so many contradictory ideas in their mind and are fueled by only bias. Its batshit.

Well, that may or may not be true. However, we can only really discuss what the law is.

I am no lawyer or judge, but last I checked, you couldn't punch someone dead in the face for disrupting an event, even a private one (unless they posed some imminent physical risk to others). Let the authorities deal with it.

By their rationale, Trayvon Martin should have been innocent and Zimmerman should be rotting in jail.

Dumbass had no right whatsoever punching him or assaulting him.

agreed. of course he doesn't have the right.

I often think of this when people walk right out in front of your car without looking.

It's this its my right mentality that gets people killed.

Of course the man had no right to elbow him but the guy that got elbowed can't be surprised he got hit.

I sure wouldn't be surprised if I got laid out if I am screaming at a crowd my opposite beliefs while giving them the finger.

They're both at fault.

Who are laws supposed to protect? I think it's wrong that one person can essentially limit the free speech of others while abusing the law's protection.

The Scott · « **Reply #37 on:** March 10, 2016, 07:04:51 PM »

Free speech? Yup. Right to an audience? Nope.

SaintAnger · « **Reply #38 on:** March 10, 2016, 07:05:46 PM »

Both at fault? Some of you hypocrites make me sick.

Imagine if a group of suspected black supremacists shoved and harassed a 16 year old white activist girl for disrupting an Obama convention?

Then, one of their elder congregation sucker KO'd a white dude for no good reason -- THEN the white victim gets taken to floor by cops.

You really need to check your priorities in life and look in the mirror. If that's who you really are (a white supremacist), then accept it and be honest about it. No beating around the bush anymore.

/Meltdown.

Guy still broke the law who threw the punch.

NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO DISRUPT ANYONE ELSES EVENT.

I thought this was common knowledge.

You can say your piece but if you attempt to shut down another persons speech by disrupting their event, you are not protected. You can however hold your own event at a different location and air your issues there.

This being said, The punch qualifies as a physical assault and there are laws against that.

That's a silly analogy.

Both were in the wrong. I just don't feel sorry for the guy who got punched.

Sheriff Earl “Moose” Butler called the attack cowardly.

“Regardless of political affiliation, speech, race, national origin, color, gender, bad reputation, prior acts or political demonstration, no other citizen has the right to assault another person or to act in such a way as this defendant did," Butler said.

In terms of a moral position, both may have been in the wrong.

In terms of the law, one guy was clearly more in the wrong than the other guy.

These Hilter youth rallies are private events and Herr Trump can kick out anyone that he wants to

That doesn't give anyone the legal right to assault someone

I wish the black guy had a gun and shot the moron who hit him.
