The way the "free speech zones" at Broadview were put up, have been policed, and continually keep shrinking is a microcosm of what's happening to free speech in America as a country.
the current scene.
state/local police have shut down one of the “free speech” zones and are requiring all protesters to stand on the east side of beach.
the street is entirely closed to traffic yet cops arrest anyone who stands on the concrete barriers or steps into the street.
so many cops.
