So much for the "free speech" crowd—funny how quickly they support tasing people when it's voices they don’t want to hear. Peaceful protest is a cornerstone of democracy, and using force against constituents just trying to hold their elected official accountable is a dangerous precedent. Greene thrives on chaos and victimhood, but this just shows how out of touch she is with the people she claims to represent.
This is exactly why the government needs to be kept in check—peaceful protest shouldn’t end with people getting tased for speaking out. Doesn’t matter if you agree with Greene or not, the First Amendment doesn’t come with conditions. Too many politicians are way too comfortable using state force to shut down dissent.
