The Security Brief with Paul Viollis

It is more than foreseeable that the plethora of issues garnering 1st Amendment support will create increased friction and divide in our ability to navigate safely with each other in 2018. Clearly, riots that grow from protests and social media communications that beget national security compromises to all sorts of expressions of religious preferences will grab continuous headlines and spark spirited, if not violent, debate. The question is, how do we gauge what is legal and reasonable. Paul and Seth sit down with The Security Brief legal analyst Vincent Ancona to break all this down for what turns into a lively and highly educational debate. We want to hear your thoughts on Facebook or Instagram.  www.viollis.com
