I am so glad you asked this question.
For clarity - if you flip the bird, shout and and smirk at a group of people after interrupting their rally then NO - THIS IS NOT FREE SPEECH. Its an abuse of the 1st amendment. It's inciting violence.
Peaceful and respectful protest is fine. What this guy did was not.
Shouting and smirking is still part of expressing yourself. So basically you think its ok to take justice into your own hands if someone shows a middle finger, I wonder how that will play out in court. But Im not really surprised Trump-supporters or "righties" think like that, its that eye for an eye- mentality that brought your country and the world where it is now.
And if someone from that riot had killed a Trump supporter Im pretty sure he wouldve been tried for murder not disrupting speech either. When was even the last time in the US anybody got fined for disrupting free speech? Does that even happen?
You are confused about the first amendment. You think it provides the right to impede and smear others. It does not.
It's the kind of blatant misuse of the constitution that shocks me so much.
The guy who got punched got exactly what he deserved. As I said, try it. Go and stick your middle finger up at the first 100 people you see in town. When you wake up in the hospital you might understand that a world in which you can incite people and get away with it doesn't exist and that misusing the first amendment is not going to repair your face.
Now, the guy who threwthe punch was dealt with by the law. Rightly so. He chose the way he wanted to deal with the situation and was arrested for it.
The reaction to all this is that Trump comes out in the right and the lefties are shown up for the violent hypocrites that they are. One example for you - People were calling Trump Hitler because he asked people to put their hands up to pledge a vote for him. Pretty far fetched, especially when you actually watch the video, but the claims were made nonetheless. Last night the protesters were actually holding up communist flags, an ideology responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people, yet there is little to no reaction. You see the hypocrisy? I do? many do, which is why the BS we are seeing and hearing is only going to strengthen Trump. It's the beginning of the end for the utterly crazy leftist view of the world. It might end in a very violent war or it might end at the ballot box, either way, it's over.
You were talking about shouting and smirking. How more are you going to change your story before it fits perfectly in your agenda?

The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
By crisis, we mean a publicly visible disruption in some institutional sphere. Crisis can occur spontaneously (e.g., riots) or as the intended result of tactics of demonstration and protest which either generate institutional disruption or bring unrecognized disruption to public attention.
"Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules," Alinsky wrote in his 1989 book Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system's failure to "live up" to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist "rule book" with a socialist one.

Haven't been in much with ATS acting out of sorts, so I read through the thread.
People are still defending the actions of the "protestors" and attacking Trump and his supporters and blaming last nights actions on Trump?

Unless the left makes some drastic changes, this will just show that their ideology sees it as ok to infringe upon the rights of others.
Wow meanwhile you keep your eyes closed for your own candidate who supports those very infringements.
Trump:
"We have to beat the savages"
"Torture works"
"Ban Muslims"
Hypocrites.

They always are.
Wrong!
Democrats are only Democrats when they have a majority. Any other time they're Fascist Nazis.

It's absolutely crazy.
Hell, even on ATS we are told that we're responsible for our own posts. This is tantamount to being post-banned because someone else disrupted your thread. It makes zero sense. And we don't have first amendment rights on ATS.
It's bizarre to me that no one on MSM are calling out the 10,000 protesters or the organizers. That somehow the victims, Trump supporters lawfully assembling in expression of their first amendment rights, are somehow the bad guys but the violent protesters are simply citizens exercising theirs.
I guess the left thinks their rights are more important. No big surprise there.

I don't understand.
Because Trump said some things, that justifies the left in infringing others rights?
Why would you want Trump and his supporters killed?

Do you think it is right to infringe upon the rights of others?
Apparently you do.
Not too hard to figure out.

But it's also wrong to push society and culture to a breaking point to accommodate the margins.
