So more people that don’t understand free speech. Ethnic intimidation? So another unconstitutional law. Don’t need to make up unconstitutional laws infringing on rights to arrest people. Disorderly conduct trespassing are just two valid reasons to arrest her. Oh a third disturbing the peace, now we can argue the merits and constitutionality of some of these but they are long standing laws not some new bullshit. Sorry to tell you freedom of speech protects ‘hate speech’ protects the racist and the worse among us. It’s easy to protect speech that is wholesome and universally accepted like puppies are cute, but it’s harder to protect speech you find abhorrent and offensive. But protected it is.

Not all speech is protected. If she had written ot all down and posted it online, she wouldn't have been arrested.

There is no "Hate Speech" statute in PA. It's an enhancement charge of Ethnic Intimidation. In this case, it's secondary to the charge of Harassment--which is an overreach on the prosecutor's part. All things considered she'll probably plea out and the overreach won't matter.

Speech is also verbal. ‘Hate speech’ is protected speech regardless of its form.

Threatening someone is not protected speech. She threatened to run him out of town.
