free speech needs to be defended.

I don't like what this bloke has on his ribcage. It's pathetic. But I absolutely believe in his right to say what he wants without being harassed by the police. It's a really bad precedent. This ends with people getting "offended" by more and more things until the police are used as a way of attacking people's views.
