Free Speech: What's that?

For those of us that struggle to put two and two together, Freedom of Speech is the right to, well, speak freely. It’s our birth right to tell a guy to fuck off without being thrown in jail, even if that guy's a cop. It’s our right to tell a Mongrel Mob member he’s a wanker without ‘questionably’ disappearing the next day. It’s the right to yell “FIRE!” in a library, but not if you’re only testing your comedic skills on the 38th level of a full building where the only way for anyone to possibly make it down safely would be to jump.

Obviously we all know that free speech is not this easy. In reality if you did tell a cop to fuck off they would probably find a way to throw you in jail. And if you got cheeky to the Mongrel Mob they’d probably beat the crap out of you.
