I think doing this is like trampling on the graves of American soldiers everywhere. It's just disrespectful.
You do understand that the exercise of free speech includes free speech that you may find disrespectful or even offensive?????

IMO, it is a bunch of unruly spoiled brats who don't know any better.

Most are "students" and only do it to get out of class.

You can demean people all you want. It's especially easy when you don't even try to understand their point of view.

The emphasis is on PEACEABLY.
Yes but then they created the 2nd amendment for when the government tries to stop the peaceful protests.
