What are these Free Speech Zones?

[BENNY_BLANCO1]

I thought that people could peacefully protest almost anywhere. I've seen footage of all the protests from the 60s and 70s and while I did see cops in full force at most of them, it looked like they were just there (to intimidate or keep the peace, I don't know).

Now I read in another thread about a "free speech zone." What's the point of protesting peacefully if you're stuck in a little cage?
What happened to "Congress shall make no law... abridging... the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"?

After looking up wikipedia for a minute, it does make more sense to call it a "Free Speech Cage" but then again, that doesn't make any sense either. It's putting people in a fucking cage.

I think that they are like this ideal place where you can feel safe saying whatever you want even if it's against the main stream along with a bunch of people who agree with you and wont have to worry about getting your ass beat and thrown in jail.

Well obviously how else can the government guarantee that you won't get repressed.
