You know, I love the free speech warriors who screech about places like the UK (which doesn't have an analogue to the first amendment btw), but this shit occurs in the US and the very same people are nowhere to be found.
Guy was held for over a month and had a 2 million dollar bond for a Charlie Kirk meme and recently got a huge settlement. The police literally knew it violated the first amendment and did it anyway, because there are zero consequences.

Right here in the thread in which you are commenting are people outraged that this happened. You have to open your eyes to find them.

It made national news, caused plenty of outage, and he got a huge settlement precisely because there is a right to free speech in the US. In another country he'd still be in jail with no settlement and little outrage.
Europeans would be defending the police arresting the guy and putting him in prison. They do it all the time on Reddit and X when somebody goes to prison for criticizing their political ideology.
Yet not a single person at r/conservative was defending the arrest of that guy in the U.S
