Will you admonish these actions? I want to get you on record.

What Hoyt did was akin to censorship.
I can't abide that. You counter speech you disagree with, with more speech, not less.
Hoyt was wrong and is no better than the Antifa morons who silence others with their acts of violence.

Hypocrites just can't have it both ways!
Nope those are attacks against people and personal property.

My point is that just because laws were broken doesn’t mean the message shouldn’t be heard.
Ten violent attacks on first amendment rights in one night . Can you condemn them as aggressively as you do Hoyt’s actions ?
His message was heard. Listen again for yourself if you missed it.
I've already condemned all violent partisan acts, but this thread is about, "Alabama man arrested for slashing baby Trump Balloon", so the focus in this thread is naturally going to be about that.

Does he have the constitutional right to make that statement despite his actions ?
Did everyone who stole a Trump supporters Red Hat violate their constitutional rights yes or no ?

The right to peaceful freedom of expression comes in many forms: speech, a MAGA hat, a baby Trump balloon. They all apply...
Of course he has the right to say what he said in that video. No one has denied him that right. His actions afterwords were where he went astray.
I've already addressed this.

That’s been my point the entire thread . So why exactly were you debating me ?

I feel that Hoyt’s action was justified because I’ve had enough of the left’s bull# .
You vaguely addressed it. I ask you for a direct answer.
Would you spend 12 pages condemning this guy’s actions like you did Hoyts ?
