30. 1st amendment is about the government not restricting speech

The girls initially were victims of rude behavior however, unless as stated before they were being loud and obnoxious. If they were talking among themselfs and dropping f bombs or whatever they should have been left alone. If they were loud that behavior should be addressed and that should be addressed no matter what kind of words they were using. But, the minute they battered someone they were criminals. I hope that clears things up for you.
