It means you are free to say what you want but you must take personal responsibility for and accept the consequences of saying the things you say, whatever it may be.

Do not expect everyone to blindly accept the things you say just because it's "free speech".

You act like you wouldn't, but you would.

I'm not saying that any reaction is right and just. I'm saying that the reality of living in a society is that there are consequences to what you say, legal or otherwise.

Free speech does not absolve you of personal responsibility and exercising good judgment. This goes equally to the person who reacts and the way they react.

I don't claim to judge right or wrong. But it is ignorant to believe free speech shields you from consequence. Again, consequences, whether they be right or wrong.
