Today, I found out that you can get arrested for holding up a 'free hugs' sign. FML

You've obviously never heard of the "Free Hug Tax".

YTDI for being a peacenik fag. Love and understanding never toppled dictators or stopped genocide.

But when Martin Luther King Jr. Preached peace and love he earned blacks all the rights of whites. The opposite of peace and understanding is hatred and intolerance and misuderstanding, and that is what causes those dictatorships and genocides. STFU and GTFO.

Yeah, you can get arrested for holding a "Free hugs" sign. I have heard of it happening in some European countries so I suppose it can happen at other places. The problem with the "Free hugs" is pickpocketing. You are giving the person much easier access to your wallet or whatever he can steal. And since there can't be a cop or someone to observe what the freehugger is doing all the time it is easier to just not allow it at all.

Not all speech is protected. Solicitation, harassment, death threats, inciting a riot, etc... there are lots of legal restrictions on speech.

It's about time they got another good comic person on here. The last one I can remember was the C&H one, and even that one was fairly lame (not because of the artist, but because this whole idea is just stupid).

This makes me laugh, because my husband has a pin that he keeps on his messenger bag (he uses it to carry his work clothes in, so he doesn't have to ride the bus in hos uniform) and it says in giant red letters FREE HUGS. He got it when we went to Anime North last year.

In some places it's considered soliciting.
