useless debate

That's because you lack real arguments, hence you would result in the mindless assault.

Legally free speech is the government won't throw you in prison for saying whatever you want.

Legally, the government will throw you in prison for assault. Reaffirming that way free speech rights for people.

What you want is for people to be able to say all kind of bigotry in public like it was something that should be defended.

Yes, I do want my free speech right to respond and debate them whenever I want. Censoring, assaulting, intimidating others will infringe MY free speech right to debate them. So, you are part of the problem, not the solution.

If someone in your home want to murder you

Don't confuse speech with murder because that's an ignorant and dangerous false equivalence. The kind that leads a step further towards fascism and other oppressive hells.

Throwing milkshakes at people = Assault.

Offensive speech != Murder

You fail logic at the most basic levels.

No, you are just trying to equate speech you don't like with physical violence. Again, a false and ignorant equivalence. Also, throwing milkshakes is assault, end of the story.

Illegal threatening speech is not about misinterpretations of controversial art, radical political opinions, and bad jokes. Free speech protects the provocative from being hemmed in by the prudish. Your attempt to squash free speech with assaults based on a false equivalence is disgusting.
