---I can’t interrupt a city council meeting to give a speech about, well, anything not on the agenda.

and if you can't get your issue onthe agenda....?

Or, you arent aware of jury nullificaton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification

Or your pockets aren't deep enough to influence the police, city manager, council members, etc...?

…then yes, you will have a harder time being heard. That was kind of my point.

You can say whatever you want. Ensuring that people hear it is something else entirely and does often require money, influence, contacts.

I’m not saying it’s morally ideal, I’m saying that freedom of speech does not extend to freedom to be heard.
