The protest culture has been out of control for a long time. People have every right to assemble and stage a demonstration or protest. But they do not have the right to disrupt other people’s events, or to commit vandalism. That is a straightforward distinction that has gotten lost. The simple solution, IMHO, would be to impose a stiff fine, payable to the individual or group against whom a disruptive protest is made. Friday’s protestors, for example, could be assessed a $1,000 fine, payable to the Trump-Pence campaign or the RNC. That would put a chill on these kinds of actions.
And they dont have the right to obstruct traffic.
