You're overgeneralizing. And your willingness to use the actions of a few, in a few demonstrations, to obliterate the rights of free speech for all, destroys the constitutional protections we are supposed to enjoy. The idea of giving up our right to free speech, because a few people misbehave, is so simplistic and troubling (to quote you) that I don't understand that concept. Government today is amazingly powerful and well organized, and the citizenry is not. Freedom of speech is a bulwark against abuses by the government, and if you give that up, and allow the government to decided where you may speak (behind a fence, out of sight) you are kissing one of our constitutional freedoms goodbye. Not a good idea, imo.
