Protesters operate, BY LAW, by a different set of rules than the general public.
Why don't you guys get that?
You guys keep saying "Disturbing the peace or Public Nuisance" but those laws do not governer protesters.
For God sakes Grim you posted the Rights to Deminstrate and Protest on page 2 of this thread. lol

Q. Can my free speech rights be restricted because of what I want to say – even if it’s controversial?
A. No. The First Amendment prohibits restrictions based on the content of speech. However, this does not mean that the Constitution completely
protects all types of free speech activity in every circumstance. Police and government officials are
allowed to place certain non-discriminatory and narrowly drawn “time, place and manner” restrictions on the exercise of First Amendment rights.
Q. Where can I engage in free speech activity?
A. Generally, all types of expression are constitutionally protected in traditional “public forums” such as public sidewalks and parks. Public
streets can be used for marches subject to reasonable permit conditions. In addition, speech activity may
be permitted at other public locations such as the plazas in front of government buildings which the government has opened up to similar speech
activities.
Q. Do I have a right to picket on public sidewalks?
A. Yes. This is an activity for which a permit is not required. However, picketing must be done in an orderly, non-disruptive fashion so that
pedestrians can pass by and entrances to buildings are not blocked. Contrary to the belief of some law enforcement officials, picketers are not
required to keep moving, but may remain in one place as long as they leave room on the sidewalk for others to pass.
Q. Can a speaker be silenced for provoking a crowd?
A. Generally, no. Even the most inflammatory speaker cannot be punished for merely arousing the audience. A speaker can be arrested and convicted for
incitement only if he or she specifically advocates violence or illegal actions and only if those illegalities are imminently likely to occur.
Q. Do counter-demonstrators have free speech rights?
A. Yes. Although counter-demonstrators should not be allowed to physically disrupt the event they are protesting, they do have the right to be present
and to voice their views. Police are permitted to keep two antagonistic groups separated but should allow them to be within the general vicinity of
one
another.
Q. Is heckling protected by the First Amendment?
A. Although the law is not settled, heckling should be protected, unless hecklers are attempting to physically disrupt an event, or unless they are
drowning out the other speakers.
Q. Does it matter if other speech activities have taken place at the same location in the past?
A. Yes. The government cannot discriminate against activists because of the controversial content of their message. Thus, if you can show that events
similar
to yours have been permitted in the past (such as a Veterans or Memorial Day parade), then the denial of your permit application is an indication that
the government is involved in selective enforcement.
<--- haven't used that in a while
