Ok.
Let's be clear here.
It was the SC contingent ( about 30-40 people ) who were being threatening. Waving a club in someones face and threatening to ( Illegally! ) confiscate their property is not exactly "Peaceful." Attempting to confiscate private property, in such a case, could be classed as Extortion or, in the case of the club-waver, Armed Robbery. Let's be clear who's simply "Insensitive" and who's a CRIMINAL.
The PPs were escorted from the rally by Columbus Police FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY. That is, in order to keep from being ASSAULTED. Most of the PPs were carrying their weapons unloaded, and would have had no way to defend themselves from this crowd of bigots.
Additionally, according to two seperate lawyers retained by Pink Pisols and the Citizens Committee, not to mention the Columbus Police, the PPs were within their rights. SC WAS NOT. It was a public even, on public land.
