Indeed. Freedom of speech goes both ways. And freedom of speech has never meant freedom from consequences... just freedom from government persecution.

Exactly, I could go up to someone and call them a Bitch, they can slap me and that's a consequence. I can't say "But but free speech tho!" 😂

That's assault though

Assault gets you jail

Calling someone a bitch doesn't

Yes, but that's not the point, what I mean is just because I have the freedom to say something doesn't mean I won't face consequences, rightfully or not.

Yeah, I get it. But some words shouldn't be punished and certainly not with violence. I think we're all missing a little something right now.
