Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson comments and speeches created Chaos & Riots in Ferguson, Mo.
You always have freedom of speech but you can't yell "FIRE" in a crowded theater.
In this case,their speeches and comments went beyond their 1st Admendment rights.
What does the right of free expression encompass? The government may not: a) prohibit one’s own expression; b) prevent one from receiving another’s expression; c) compel one to express certain views; d) foster adherence to an ideological viewpoint; or, e) compel one to subsidize speech to which one objects. It is the right to express one’s beliefs, without any form of governmental interference, that is at the heart of “free speech.”
Are there exceptions to speech that is shielded from governmental intrusion? Yes.
Most exceptions relate to health and safety concerns. Speech that promotes an unlawful end, such as a speech urging people to riot, is not protected.
Once 10,000 signitures are aquired, it will be presented to Eric Holder, Jr, Attorney General and ask the Justice Department to investigate and bring charges against Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson for their actions in Ferguson, Mo.
