You didn't actually address the comment you replied to. Is heckling a speaker free speech or not? Does it protect the speaker's free speech if the heckler is dragged out? Or does it violate the heckler's rights? Or both?

It's a great slogan and a terrific ideal. But actually think it through, in real world situations, and you end up with so many edge cases.
