So Mr. Lightman is blocking public highways and streets considered a form of free speech in your book? How about rushing the stage and threatening participants who are attending the rally’s?

The heathen in your 8 looks like he needs his next push before he’s out the door to another protest.

When the cretins start seeing their stuff going off to a sheriffs auction, it might improve the behavior of them and their friends.

Exactly.

Soros is a kapo.

A kapo or prisoner functionary (German: Funktionshäftling) was a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp who was assigned by the SS guards to supervise forced labor or carry out administrative tasks in the camp. Also called "prisoner self-administration", the prisoner functionary system minimized costs by allowing camps to function with fewer SS personnel. The system was designed to turn victim against victim, as the prisoner functionaries were pitted against their fellow prisoners in order to maintain the favor of their SS guards. If they were derelict, they would be returned to the status of ordinary prisoners and be subject to other kapos. Many prisoner functionaries were recruited from the ranks of violent criminal gangs rather than from the more numerous political, religious and racial prisoners; those were known for their brutality toward other prisoners. This brutality was tolerated by the SS and was an integral part of the camp system

Someone quoted recently the law that Obama signed that made it illegal to protest near anyone with Secret Service protection, punishable by up to ten years in jail.

The Justice Department would be looking at Rico charges.
There is such a thing as civil RICO, and I yearn for it to be applied to organized rioters and the people who fund them.

Good grief read my post.... “ but when they cross the line and become disruptive, that is actionable” (#3)

Please know what you’re talking about before going off on a half cocked rant.

Can anyone get a ticket as long as they do so in a timely manner?

If the answer is yes, it’s a public event.

As Hillary secures the nomination we shall see the return to the DNC’s 1968 campaigns methods.

Obama made it illegal to disrupt a Presidential candidates rally

Text: H.R.347 — 112th Congress (2011-2012)

https://www.congress.gov/bill/112th-congress/house-bill/347/text

(2) ”the term other person protected by the Secret Service means any person whom the United States Secret Service is authorized to protect under section 3056 of this title or by Presidential memorandum, when such person has not declined such protection.

Under the Trespass Bill’s latest language chance, however, someone could end up in law enforcement custody for entering an area that they don’t realize is Secret Service protected and “engages in disorderly or disruptive conduct” or “impede[s] or disrupt[s] the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions.”

What he can do and what he should do are two different things, and he realizes that. This is why he has started talking over some of them while they are removed. There is an announcement at the rallies asking the audience to wave signs and chant to help police locate troublemakers, but that creates enough of a disruption Trump has to stop and acknowledge it. The agitators won’t stop but I suspect the security people will get more effective in their response.

Protesters have the right of free speech like anyone but when they cross the line and become disruptive, that is actionable.

Some of us have Freeped at events where the Commodities Scam Queen appeared. Our "free speech rights" were always across the street and well away from where she would be. (And we just stood wherever we were assigned with our signs. We never challenged any of here supporters, maybe just because they never had to come near us.) What is happening with these so-called protesters is an outrage. If they believe in "free-speech" let them rent their own gd hall.

Wouldn’t a rally be considered a public venue?

It's about as public as an NBA basketball game. See what happens if you and a bunch of your friends storm the court and disrupt a game to protest the lack of affirmative action on team rosters.

Oh but I did read it.

I still don't get your point; if you even have one.

But never mind; apparently you're all for the Commies, anarchists, and idiots to try to stop Trump and his supporters.

Please don't reply to this post; I don't care what else you might have to babble on about.

On a gut level I agree with you bro but as long as the opposition is not disruptive I do believe they have the legal right to be there.
