“Congress shall make no law …abridging the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

If they were doing it for “safety” the Police would have closed the roads also…but they didn’t.

The people were protesting the disruption(more like humiliation) that brown airline passengers were facing at that moment. ya know.

Maybe so, but you can express free speech without disrupting travel.

Chances are that most protesters were arriving by bus or BART

Frank, what you are really admitting there is that you don’t want freedom of speech at all, because you can have that in a park. Nor do you respect those with whom you disagree. IOW, you are intolerant.

You want to intimidate, harass and try and blackmail people into supporting you, even though you are not engaging with the people who are responsible for this policy. And just because you are so utterly convinced that you are right.

I have news for you. Everyone thinks they are right. And I am LESS likely to support your goals if you mess with me.

Bigots and the small-minded will never turn from their inner echo chambers to see the world of pain they cause unless that world of pain intrudes.

Neither the operators of that airport nor the passengers transiting it are in any way responsible for the order so it’s an unreasonable location.

And it is harassment if I am inconvenienced even slightly, and I am likely to feel harassed.

Suppose I decide to protest your politics by going to your house and blocking your path in or out. Fair and free speech?

Personal attacks are not usually considered protests. If you really wanted to, I think it would be okay to picket on the sidewalk in front of an individuals house, but attacking them would be considered assault, not a protest.

So you are countering my speculation with another speculation?

If an unusually large crowd assembles that is causing an obstruction then I think it is reasonable that the security and emergency services make decisions based on their best judgement. They are the experts, you are not, so I’m going with their version.

So you have the constitutional right to shout in a public library?

Didn’t think so.

The problem is that you get BAD media. And you turn people off your ideas.

The law would not consider property damage the same as being inconvenienced with delay, even if that were the case which its not clear it was. Property damage is typically a much more serious thing. People break down on the roadway, block the road, and hold others up all the time, but we don’t throw them in jail for causing delay. I don’t think you can compare the two.

We can’t know the factors that drive the decision. But a large crowd in a sensitive area would reasonable raise concerns for safety and security, as well as the efficient running of the facility, so such a decision may have seemed prudent.

I want freedom justice an equality for all people. My people have been inconvienced harassed, enslaved falesly imprisoned and kilked needlessly and sensely since been in country. Until that fact is acknowledged and corrected, I could give to shits bout the inconvience of some entitled privileged racist. You will not choose when we protest where we protest and how we protest this undemocratic fake ass land of freedom. My people are not the problem. They are the victim of the problems, now go lynch yourself Flubert. You can as much as you like you can denybthe obvious

I see you lack the basic ability to have a civil debate with someone without becoming emotional and aggressive.

Ever wondered whether THAT is the source of your problems, and not the fact that some people disagree with you?
