The US first ammendment (“free speech”) protects citizens from reprecussions from the government if a citizen criticizes the government

Obviously there can´t be a democracy (or what we call a democracy) without that! Criticizing the government has to be legal - always - no exceptions!

In fact, in the US, some people who misinterperet the first ammendment will be summarily executed by someone who misunderstands the second ammendment!

ROFL - US culture seriously scares the shit out of me and I will probably never travel there
