Okay. I feel that this needs to be said because we’re having the same sort of kneejerk reaction that conservatives have when the law doesn’t side with them.
You are on private property. You do not have the right to treapass. If they feel that you are being a nuisance, then they 100% have the right to ask you to leave. This is not a violation of your 1st Amendment right.
Now…I 100% believe that protests should be disruptive, and I totally support any one of these students that decide to protest, you’re doing what you think is right, that’s awesome. But we also need to be realistic here, a company or private entity asking you to leave the property doesn’t mean or show proof that we live in a Capitalist Oligarchy. Not saying that we don’t…but we should atleast get our facts straight.
The most protected form of speech is money. Apparently. Which is really weird since money isn’t, you know, speech, at all. But what do I know, I’m broke as shit.
Holy shit, this is universally up voted? Are the people here really this uninformed when it comes to free speech? Not one person has challenged you on this BS?
Free speech is something that protects you from the government. This is clearly some private event that has the right to allow or disallow whatever they want on their property. This is like if I was invited into your house, I called your wife a cunt, you asked me to leave, and then I said the ridiculously stupid “you’re violating my freedom of speech!”
Is the Lemmy hive mind even more dumb than reddits?
