That's not a remotely valid comparison


I would trust that you recognize that we have freedom of speech, but that doesn't give you the right to shout fire in a crowded theater.

Why does it not grant you the right to shout fire in a crowded theater? Because that would adversely affect the right of others to enjoy the movie.

You cannot cut off someone's hands because that would adversely affect their right to not have their hands cut off.

On the other hand (pun?), they have no right to your property or time and your refusal to provide them with your property or time does not injure them.
