People beating you up is not a violation of your first amendment rights, no.

So is there no way a private citizen can infringe on your right?

I mean, you just said people literally beating me up because of my speech isn't infringing it.
So it seems you think it is impossible. Is that correct? Only the government can?

Correct! Glad to hear that this is cleared up. :)

(Obviously assault is still illegal, but there are different laws to protect you from that)

Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1357/

It's astounding how often the right to free speech is misunderstood.

lets say I made a comic like xkcd

then I drew the prophet Mohammed like Charlie Ebdo did

the next day a group of Muslims beat me up


is that simply consequences? they aren't trying to limit my freedom of speech? it is just consequences?
I mean, they aren't the government

then say other people also get beat up in similar circumstances

now people are afraid to draw this

He sounds to me like he's having a psychotic breakdown. I do hope he's just kidding around, otherwise this video is really worrying.

The Jedi are actually the nazis because they use violence to attack the peaceful empire's free speech.
