No, I don’t think it’s good that people are arrested in other countries for protests. Which is why I think all the people who are up in arms about this individual-who was not arrested for a protest-should direct their outrage more properly towards some of those other countries. Citizens in the UK get arrested for tweets. Someone in Australia was arrested for planning a protest on Facebook. Those are outrageous. This case is not like those cases at all.
His case is yet undecided and raises some due process questions, but it’s not a free speech case. You can be strong on free speech and still think that we can deport non-citizens for any number of reasons that are not speech.
And you think it’s good that people in other countries are arrested for protestests? That’s stupid.
