The term "free-speech zone" (or "protest zone" or similar terms) refers to a fenced-in or otherwise restricted area in which people are required to stay if they wish to speak critically of an event or person, display signs, and the like. Usually, a free-speech zone is remote from travel routes, convention centers, or other locations where protestors congregate to be seen and heard.

Good! Protestors dont have right to block traffic, stop business or travel to spew their bullshit nonsense. Get a fucking job, and a haircut.
