Free speech does not equal assault.

No one has the right to claim they are afraid of another because of their skin color or their views.
I hope people can step back from this moment. Trump has spent months whipping these haters into the frenzie we are witnessing.

I think a person not only can be afraid of what someone says, but SHOULD be afraid of what someone says when that someone is a radical politician pushing mistreatment and repression of other people

Under the guise of free speech to inflict violence on those they "hate". As far as being frightened by their views, we should all be. The media has aided and cheered this rhetoric until it's accepted "mainstream" to a very scary group.
