# It's disheartening to see so many people cheer on a violent assault…

It\'s disheartening to see so many people cheer on a violent assault on someone for speaking their mind (repugnant as his views may be). For the record, I support your right to speak your mind without fear that you will be assaulted for your speech, no matter how unpopular your views.\

As Evelyn Beatrice Hall once wrote: "I wholly disapprove of what you say---and will defend to the death your right to say it."
