In reply to the discussion: Suppose a group has declared a "safe space" on public property or a place of public accommodation [View all]MineralMan
(146,286 posts)It might be closed for an event, but it would still be a public place at all other times.
For example, I can rent a space in a Saint Paul public park for a party. There are spaces like that in many of our parks, with things like picnic tables and grills. During the time I rent it, it becomes a private space. Before and after that time, it is public space, available for anyone's use.
So, your hypothetical question is incomplete, and cannot be answered. Has what you suggested occurred? What are the details of an actual situation? If you provide details, we can discuss a specific case. It's impossible, however, to discuss your open-ended hypothetical question.
However, all public spaces are "safe" places, to the extent that individuals cannot be assaulted or forced to leave such places without some legal reason. If, for example, a group is having some sort of gathering in a public place and another individual disrupts that gathering, the law allowing that person to be removed, or even arrested, is generally called "Disturbing the Peace," and is a misdemeanor offense if someone does that.
