Mild-mannered or not, it doesn't mean that they didn't violate an ordinance requiring a permit. Now, I don't know if that's the case here, but I've seen that happen before and fall under the heading of "rioting".
Yes, but I've NEVER seen a simple violation of a protest-permit ordinance result in felony charges.
