Yes, wall street protests are an effective use of these freedoms. People should be able to express their feelings on an issue and protest it just like any other time. The way police are treating these protesters is unconstitutional. Theses freedoms are guarenteed and should not be limited in this way.

No, I don't think it is an effective use of freedom of speech. They don't seem to be accomplishing anything, in fact it wasn't quite clear what they were trying to do.

Yes and No, the wall street protesets have a good idea of getting peoples attion but they don't really point out what it is there protesting so it makes it a little confussing. So i think they have the right idea but need to give a little more deatil to what is they are protesting. Maybe ifthey spoke out more or even held up signs it would them more of what they want. This way they are still using freedom of speech but giving everyone a better understanding of what they are protetsting against.
