 The public's rejection of criminalizing offensive speech and hate speech in view of the First Amendment poses a challenge for the legal system.Contrary to popular belief, it is not just those who are unaffected by street harassment that holds this ideal; victims and survivors of offensive speech and hate speech are reluctant to advocate against this First Amendment right.Adversely, the public is hesitant to rely on the law in their daily lives as they prefer autonomy, regardless of how grave the situation may be.
