Curses! Foiled again!

This is going to be challenged by the lawyers who earn their living scraping taxpayer funded settlements from the bottom of the barrel.
Yes, of course it is. Every bit as much as shooting the protestors who are holding the bullhorns.
No doubt, but F them anyway : )
“In a Phoenix suburb in March, protesters parked about two-dozen cars in the middle of the highway to stop drivers on their way to an outdoor rally for Donald Trump and Joe Arpaio, the controversial Arizona sheriff. “
The above could have killed people.
It’s a good start. There should be penalties for blocking traffic. Period.
The thing is, I don’t see Trump supporters going to Bernie events and raising hell like the Dem and Socialists raise hell at trump events...
Trump Supporters = Live and let Live.
Bernie/Hillary supporters = I want to force you to Live how I want you to live.
Love it, hit these Hillary/Sanders kooks right where it hurts, their wallet filled with cash that mom gave them the night before.
Speech is non destructive discourse. You can’t yell fire in a crowded theater....unless it’s on fire. You can’t block someone’s way by physically blocking his way.....that is not speech. You can unobtrusively stand on a soap box and explain your point to the passing masses....blocking those masses physically is tantamount to assault.
Make a free newspaper and hand it out? Fine. Create a blog or website and fill it with thoughts fine (unless you threaten violence....then it ceases being free speech)
Good law. The First Amendment only protects, “the right of the people peaceably to assemble[.]” Once terrorists block traffic to deny others their right of peaceable assembly, they aren’t protected.
Protesters can still protest, they just can’t deny someone else their freedom of speech by blocking access to an event.
That logic follows the gun ruling in California that says you can’t exercise a right if you don’t have access to the means to exercise that right.

"Today Alex went to the DMV to renew his license. When he was told to go have his picture taken he noticed that there were some men having their picture taken, these men were wearing turbans on there heads. Alex was asked to take his hat off to have his picture taken. He said “no", and "no" again when asked the second time. When he was asked why he would not remove his hat he said, ‘Those men didn't remove their head wear, I shouldn't either.' It was explained that this was their attire and their religion. Alex told the DMV person that what he had on was his attire and when he entered the Marines he an oath to the USA, and one nation under God, so that his oath was under God so just as good as his religion. Well, the DMV people didn't know what to do, they spoke to supervisors and called Sacramento. Alex was told, after an hour, that he could wear his hat for the picture and if there were any problems they would let him know and he could appeal their decision. He told them if there is a problem he WILL appeal it. Alex feels no one has more right to display their head gear then a Veteran or active service person. When he left several employees at the DMV clapped quietly for him. He has spoken to a few other Veterans and they plan to do the same." Semper FI U.S. Marine Corps Semper Fi
Gov. Ducey just kicked LaRaza in the groin at the next “latista” protest.
Exactly. Your rights cannot infringe on mine.
Bravo. Disabled people especially should not have to hobble for three miles to get to a rally.
Trump has not even been elected yet, and already his effect is being felt on a planetary scale. Like it or not, that’s a leader.
I would think blocking traffic is a public safety hazard for police, firemen, and medical/ambulance, and others needing ingress/egress to a venue location.
Isn't creating a situation with such wanton disregard for the safety of others against the law?
I like it, We need hats that say:
One Nation Under GOD
And All Americans should wear it. My license doesn’t come up for renewal for 14 more years
Aside from lecturing Bill about obeying the law, especially if he wanted to remain on the team, Wooden told him something that hadn't occurred to him -- that protesting in such a manner could've killed people. Ambulances in a hurry to get to UCLA med. center might've been caught in that logjam that Walton and his hippie comrades created. ...among other scenarios. There are ways to protest that don't involve putting the public at risk.
The lightbulb finally went on in Walton's stoned brain.
