WTF are people protesting outside the DNC???

74. Thanks for the link, elleng...

Admittedly, my attempt to define legal protest was "on the fly." I now see the need to define "action", for sure, to include things such as armbands, contribution of money to causes, flag-burning, and the other things listed in your link.

I want actions along the lines of those we saw on January 6, at Charlottesville, the summer 2020 George Floyd mob actions, and the pro-Hamas graffiti actions at the White House a few days ago. The seemingly increasing number of folks blocking roadways because they are upset about something or protestors sitting in the middle of a field at a ballgame for whatever reason should be forcibly removed and charged. Those activities persuade no one and only serve piss off and impede those going about their day.

As your link points out, Courts recognize free speech includes the right "not to speed." If I'm not particularly passionate about environmental issues, my traveling down the interstate in my SUV isn't trumped (sorry) by someone's right to protest over climate change.

Interesting topic, for sure....
