There is however a time and a place, and that was neither the time nor the place. It should not have been allowed.

No Andrew, we have laws, hard fought for, that does allow free speech.
However we also have statutes in place that are there to prevent those who spout hatred, incitement to violence, etc.
Some argue, and do, that freedom of speech should allow anyone to broadcast their beliefs, whatever they are, or however abhorent those views are to the greater majority, for example those who think it's a consensual relationship, when an adult has sex with a child, of which there are groups in the Netherlands and the U.S.
Somethings should not be allowed the privilege of free speech.
Especially when that speech calls for the death, harm, loss of liberty, or hatred of others.
