Security measures at DNC heighten fear over free speech
Boston's Fleet Center security tightens for the Democratic National Convention drawing criticism for walls and barriers that silence protesters. Coast Guard patrols, road closures, jets in the sky, and a fenced-off “free speech” area aim to prevent disturbances but spark concerns—free speech restricted to a small zone, and judges note the restriction clashes with prior rulings on sight and sound demonstrations. The piece argues that fear drives overreach, implying terrorists would win if voices are muffled.
