I should mention for the sake of clarity that the space in which these events took place are an open, social gathering space, not a closed room. And it is public property. You can tell this to some extent if you look at the photograph above. So any discussion of freedom of speech has to take into account the fact that there are two conflicting "speakers" here exercising their rights. The Trump people made a conscious decision to hold their meeting in this space in order to bring out the opposition to create a newsworthy event and got their wish. I'm not seeing anything here but the lively discussion characteristic of a free society, even if the discussants may want to say "everyone but me should STFU." You can say that... as an exercise of your right to free speech.
