Since when is it legal to preemptively quash speech activities based on a belief of how things might go?

@stevanzetti They walled up the capitol for months after Jan 6. 🫠
@stevanzetti By “speech activities,” Steven means planned takeovers to, in the protesters’ words, “occupy” campus spaces by outside agitators and students. Don’t be fooled: that is not protected activity and violates school rules. The moment they refused to disperse, they were trespassing.
@stevanzetti When some one makes a threat, you can tae precautions to prevent them from carrying out that threat.
@stevanzetti Colleges do it all the time. Students say I don’t feel “safe” when certain speakers are scheduled to speak so they get canceled “preemptively”.
@stevanzetti Why @GovAbbott really wants to stick it to @UTAustin
@stevanzetti Pre-Cog behavior has become the standard recently. The Cal Law student, USC speaker, encampments being ‘dismantled’ an hour after someone put a tent down at 9am, etc
@stevanzetti I mean, it shouldn't be legal and, if the law were about logic rather than raw power, it wouldn't be legal... but here we are... where police can beat up professors and the professors are the ones charged with assault
@stevanzetti This is ridiculous logic. “Send in more troops! Our college may or may not be influenced by the actions of students at another campus several miles away from here!” is hyperbole at its worst.
@stevanzetti These people knowing nothing but fear. Fear rules their lives.
@stevanzetti For a very, very long time…ever since, “reasonable time, place and manner” rulings started appearing…
