"The Capitol is a symbol of American democracy and freedom and should be respected as such." "I believe in freedom of speech, but there's a time and place for everything. Within 300 feet of The Capitol Building is not the time nor the place to hold a protest rally." "They can do what they want to do, just not in the open." Penn Jillette editorialized on some of these explanations. One statement he made was that he agreed that there was a time and place for freedom of speech in the US. According to Penn Jillette, the time is "any fuckin' time" and the place is "any fuckin' place." The most insightful statement that Penn made, or maybe the most insightfully sad point he made was that, if such a law was passed, the signatories of the petition would be breaking that law. And that's just Americans being Americans.
