"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it." Thomas Jefferson to Archibald Stewart, 1791
The Constitution never guaranteed people the right to not be offended in public but it did guarantee the right to be offensive. If we had to worry about everyone who might be offended, everyone would have to shut their mouths and keep out of one another sights 24/7/365. Get used to it, it's okay to be offended and should be expected. The guy parked along the road is evidently offended by the POTUS/etc. and some people here are offended by the guys freedom of speech/expression thereof.
I for one am happy to see anyone who is publically expressing their opinion, I need not agree with their opinion but I certainly am happy to see they can express it publically without being arrested.
