The whole point of free speech is to protect belligerent, disrespectful, and abusive speech (with certain limitations such as threats of violence).

We don't need a constitutional protection of our right to compliment each others outfits. No body tries to limit any one elses speech when they agree with it. The reason we put that in our constitution was to ensure free speech in times when it does offend people.

Good thing the courts get this and made the right ruling.
