To tear down other people's posters and restrict freedom of speech?
Yeah that is low.

I'm not twisting it. According to you, freedom of speech is only applicable if it suits you apparently.
Freedom of speech = Government cannot do anything to restrict what you say, but it does not protect you from the consequences or actions of other people.
Yes it does.
If someone assaults you, murders you, or vandalizes your property because of something you said, they are still going to get prosecuted to the full extent of the law. That does not change no matter what you said prior. People don't get pardons from attacking people because the victim in question had a disagreeable opinion.

Funny, there were tonnes of rapes in the weeks following the economic migrant crisis. Speaking against taking in these millions of so called refugees is considered hate speech, and they take the people who protest against it(not protest as in marching on the streets, just any old facebook post) to jail, I would argue it's fair play.

That's a different charge, they are not arrested because they restricted your speech, but because they assaulted/vandalized.
In a minor case, if someone put up a poster and someone else tore it down, the person who tore it down can't be arrested on any charges.

Taking down a poster is not illegal, just as long as it is not on private property.
Even so, if you stood on a public road and started going off on how jews are evil, and someone tells you to shut up, that person is trying to restrict your speech, but is not illegal. It's also a form of free speech in counter-argument.
Either way, it's conduct, not content. Doing stuff like putting razorblades behind a poster with the intent to harm is criminal behavior, and police can intervene.

There are lot of things that aren't illegal but are generally ****** things to do. Like taking down posters just because you disagree with them.
It's pretty safe to say the only ones who are going to get cut, are people that took it upon themselves to get involved and vandalize the poster. If no one touches the poster, nothing happens.

Yes, you know what else is pretty ****** ? Attaching razor blades to your poster so that whoever disagreed enough to take it down gets physically harmed. Let's not pretend whoever does **** like this is not an even worse asshole than whoever tears the poster down. Also, usually it's not vandalizing if it's posted on public property.
I mean, razorblading people who disagree with you is also pretty ****** .
If the guy just put the poster up without razorblades, nothing harmful happens.

Here we see the typical /pol/ faggattp justefy harmful behaviour towards people for brain dead reason while they think they know how free speach works.
