If you listen to ABC, NBC, MSNBC, etc., Don Lemon’s arrest is about freedom of the press and the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. We hear outrage about the persecution of journalists, censorship, and dictatorship.

But last time I looked, the First Amendment was about freedom of speech, the press, and the practice of religion—not about freedom to break the law, to trespass, to harass, or to invade a church or synagogue like terrorists.

Don Lemon was arrested for violating the law—a law that prevents such invasions of a church or synagogue so as to interrupt services and terrorize people. He was not arrested for his opinion.
