There is no 'free' speech

You write, "I?m a huge proponent of free speech . . ." Perhaps the most important lesson that you should have learnt from writing your own article is that speech is NOT free; it has consequences because it usually has a victim - in this case the entire township of Memphis. I would much rather that people like yourself recognise this and begin to understand that 'responsible speech' is a far better alternative than constantly trumpeting the trite line of free speech. Had the author of the Twitter message thought more about responsible speech than free speech, then perhaps he might never have written his message!
