Free speech means freedom from legal consequences. If it's a crime to say a thing, and there is a penalty for saying them, then it's a misnomer to call it free speech.

    That's where you've got this whole concept fucked up. You can say whatever you want. You cannot say whatever you want in any manner that you want. It's ALL about time, place, and manner. Time, place, and manner restrictions have always and will always be a part of the freedom of speech.
