So is there a disturbing the peace law that can't be enforced to get protesters out of a neighborhood?

I really just understand how protestors are allowed to disrupt a whole street or neighborhood with no consequences.

Laws??

Didn't you compare a year of antifa and BLM riots to Jan 6 protestors?

If law enforcement and prosecutors see the crowd as being on 'their team', they look the other way.

But if the crowd is on the opposite team, they roll in the dogs and water cannons.

I guess if you can protest without breaking
loitering, noise ordinances, flow of traffic, trespassing laws, you have accomplished the goal

I can imagine many would like for these pudknockers to roll up in their neighborhood to protest at night.

When are you people going to learn that laws do not apply unless you are straight, white and conservative.

All you hear on the news is how peaceful these ppl are protesting and they have a right to even from the President. They ignore the fact that is is illegal to protest a Judge and that these liberals set a pro life facility in fire on Wisconsin with molotov cocktail and trashed the place.

This happens still?

I live in Louisville, and we made the news unfortunately with all the Breonna Taylor shite, and I haven't seen or heard of anything since then anywhere in the city or outlying areas.

flow of traffic


When you have a hundred people stretched out over a hundred yards walking down a two lane street and then stop in front of a house in a neighborhood, that is disruption of traffic.

The law is selectively enforced based on who the protesters are. Sad state of affairs.

Found this

quote:

When do you need a permit? Protests of 25 people or more on the National Mall or other National Park Service operated spaces in DC require a permit (click here to see a listing of those spaces) require a permit, as does any event that requires streets to be closed. The Metropolitan Police, because they lost an important court case, are required to allow permit-less marches in the street as long as they stay within a single lane. Demonstrations on public sidewalks are legally permissable without a permit so long as they don’t block the walkway and fewer than 100 people are expected.

That's my point. Protesting usually entails using methods that would violate all of those local codes or laws. So, protesting in a neighborhood only works if it's done in a place like St Louis where the DA refuses to enforce any of those laws and prosecutes the home owner for defending themselves like the McCloskeys.

It's why I'm glad I live where I live. My county police enforce everything and the hood rats won't come out here.

Protesters these days only go where they know they will get away with it.

You have a constitutional right to peacefully assemble. It doesn't say you can only protest in urban areas, bro. As long as they are on public property (sidewalk or easement) and not blocking the road, they have the constitutional right.

Bullhorns and excessive noisemakers may be disturbances. But they cannot stop you or I from standing there and protesting.

I have said for decades that (absent a permit) protests of any sort should face strict enforcement of regs and ordinances related to traffic, noise, etcetera.

Stay in the intersection ONE second after the light changes, get a citation. Noise levels 1/10 of a decibel above the ordinance, get a citation. Etc.

Why can't they arrest them for trespassing?

But they're "mostly peaceful".



And, as we all know, if they are qualified as "mostly peaceful" then the police aren't allowed to do anything because justice.

Most have the sense to stay on streets, sidewalks and rights-of-way.
