Hi there,
You believe that a person should be punished for their speech
Well yeah, sometimes. To quote US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in Schenck v US, "The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting 'fire' in a theatre and causing a panic". Freedom of speech is not freedom to write monumental falsehoods in the knowledge it is not true. That is called, 'malicious defamation'.
You’re not aware of this because you just came here from Reddit. You came here from an ideological bubble where you have never been challenged and never needed to defend your positions
Wut ...? I'm a right-wing Conservative blogger who has been harassed by police over my positions and has had to take legal action against them, representing myself, to force them to back down. I even published the police apology in my article here.
Speaking of defending my position, I've been (counter)-sued in the past for defamation and defended myself and won and here is the public judgment. Unlike Jones, I complied with court rules and then flayed the other side's case to death with (legitimate) procedural motions.
