Even "advocating" violent revolution -- let alone "advocating the physical disruption of someone's event" -- is protected First Amendment activity and isn't the slightest bit illegal and can't be.
So now you say inciting people to riot is protected speech? That's good to know. Then I guess we'll see if it comes to pass. Can I presume that guarding one's property from intrusion is still legal? I'm looking forward to seeing some rock throwers tasered.
On top of that, most of the people targeted have nothing to do with the group "advocating disruption," so your defense of the Police's behavior isn't only based on total ignorance but also outright lying.-- GlennGreenwald
Wrong. I didn't defend the cops actions. I said....
advocating the physical disruption of someone else's function is not acceptable or legal behavior.
If said people behave themselves, I'm sure they'll be fine.
Meanwhile, regarding the Supremes ruling that the KKK spouting off
is protected, perhaps you can tell us why burning a cross
isn't.

Possibly you're not telling the whole story? Hmmmm?
