Free speech in the US is so very selective. It's far from the universal right that many seem to believe it is.
One of my go to examples:
Want to use profanity on radio/TV or show nudity on TV? No way, that's offensive and you'll be fined into oblivion.
Want to send someone a message threatening to rape or murder them? No problem, that's free speech.
On a separate and related note: it's bizarre how many people focus on the inconvenience and not the message around protests.
