Agreed. But when it becomes a public disturbance and somebody else complains the police have no choice but to fix the situation. We can't allow a disturbance to continue on because other people's civil rights are being violated. If the man has reserved the spot with the city he's mouthing off in then he's safe to speak as he wishes. If he's just out inciting riots and murder in the streets, he's a public disturbance.

Freedom Of Speech does NOT require government permission.

Best that can be done is to monitor the situation, and see if he does in fact incite a riot.

If not, Constitution trumps Law.

It does when it envolves hate speech or if it's going to involve nudity.
