Right to Protest

This guy was arrested after this exchange. I guess he wasn’t “paid” to protest.

I’ll admit this guy is an activist, but there is nothing wrong with that. Yelling profanities is a crime? Since when did cursing a candidate or representative become a crime. Someone needs to visit Robert DeNiro or Alec Baldwin.

Public profanity or abusive language can be a crime or it can be protected speech.

It depends on the location, people in the area and what was said.

 The exact same words can be both protected or a crime depending on circumstances.

Depending on what you mean, that is part of “circumstances”.
