If you make them move back, you start a slippery slope. 100 feet today. 1000 feet tomorrow. One day protestors are relegated to demonstrating in a corn field in the middle of nowhere. We cannot take away liberties because some people are assholes. I am not willing to give up MY rights just because a couple of people were jerks.

Heh, this discussion is taking me down memory lane when Phelps protested my high school graduation.
