Protests, Riots and Civil Unrest

The late Osama bin Laden was against the US because he considered the US to be engaged in global political activities which were contrary to the interests of Islam. For example, the US has been the major ally of Israel since Israel's creation in 1948, and without US support Israel would have been destroyed a long time ago. The US has always been a predominantly Christian nation, and since it is the most powerful nation in the world, this creates a problem for those who would like to see a world dominated by Islam.

The Zoot Suit Riots were a series of riots that erupted in Los Angeles, California during World War II, between sailors and soldiers stationed in the city and Mexican American youth gangs headed by pachucos, recognized because of the zoot suits they favored. The riots began in the racially charged atmosphere of Los Angeles, where the sailors, soldiers and marines returning from the war had already come into conflict with the local Mexican zoot suiters. On June 3, 1943, a group of servicemen on leave complained that they had been assaulted by a gang of pachucos. In response, they gathered and headed out to downtown and East Los Angeles, which was the center of the Mexican community. Once there, they attacked all the men they found wearing zoot suits, often ripping off the suits and burning them in the streets. In many instances, the police intervened by arresting beaten-up Mexican-American youth for disturbing the peace. African Americans and Filipino Americans suffered the same fate as Mexican Americans [1]. Several hundred pachucos and nine sailors were arrested as a result of the fighting that occurred over the next few days. Of the nine sailors that were arrested, eight were released with no charges, and one had to pay a small fine. The Mexican-Americans were not as fortunate. Many died in jail from their injuries because they were in dire need of medical attention. Many more were convicted of crimes that they did not commit. The government finally intervened on June 7, by declaring that Los Angeles would henceforth be off-limits to all military personnel. In response to the riots Eleanor Roosevelt wrote in her weekly column about the problems faced by the Mexican American community as a result of racism in the United States.

The First Amendment relates to your right of free speech, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

However, this is not a free pass. While you've the right to post something online about how you don't like the Department of Motor Vehicles, if you criticize one of them while at the DMV, you may well be asked (made) to leave.

Likewise, discussions on the nature of liberty will not be allowed at airport security points. Or a lot of other places.

You should regard your "right" to criticize a government official as on a par with your "right" to bear arms. You, by a literal reading of the Constitution, have a "right" to do either, with no restrictions.

But you'd do well to exercise MUCH prudence.

Malcolm X protested for the civil rights of African-Americans in the United States in the 1960s. He is often accused of advocating violence because of his use of radical language.
