I agree with Lebell here.
I can understand if protestors peacefully and respectfully informed people of their opinions. I don't feel they need to get physical, however. The exceptions I am willing to understand and accept are in the case of political action against government entities--but not against private citizens carrying out their personal actions.

I think I see where we are differentiating things. It seems that you and lebell are focusing on the reasons for the relocation of protesters. I am focusing solely on the fact that it is something that happens in other situations and that the relocation of protesters does not necessarily mean that their right to free speech has been violated in some way.
I'm not clear on your point of view as far as the last line however. It seems (to my reading of it) to convey that you believe the right to free speech is somehow different if you are protesting the government versus an inidividual? Is that what you meant or did it just come across that way in the reading of it?
