During any protest, individual emotions run high, often resulting in adverse conduct, lewd and obscene acts, and threatening and inflammatory speech.

A. Should the right to free speech be an absolute, even when it comes to the use of threatening words?

B. Should the government institute more limitations on the public's ability to criticize the government or speak against it?

C. Is the First Amendment still necessary?
