He placed himself IN that position.


So what, now if I walk in front of the firing range of criminal, I am to blame for the accident if I get shot? Just because someone walks in range doesn't give you the right to punch them.

HE made the first move, not the heckler.


Wait, does this mean that Franklin threw the first elbow? If thats true, then he might be guilty of assualt. But, if he simply walked towards the heckler, its not enough to say that he was actively promoting the violence. If the heckler struck first, it could easily be argued that Franklin had acted in self-defense.

You are COMPLETELY off-topic. Start a new thread if you want to discuss this.

If Franken had applied for and been granted an application for gay marriage I have no problem with his actions.

santasdad - one liners don't add much and yours doesn't make much sense at all. Please follow the Rules regarding constructive debate.

TOPICS TO DEBATE:
Should hecklers at free speech events be arrested and charged with speech assault?

Should hecklers at free speech events be allowed to do their thing as free speech (protesting)?

And if you're of the mind, should Franken be slapped in jail for physical assault?
