I suppose it would depend on where.
For example, having a peaceful protest in the middle of a busy Interstate highway during rush hour is probably not lawful.
To me, there is nothing peaceful about a protest that is being disruptive in any manner.
Blocking the street (unless a permit was appropriate), blocking a sidewalk, blocking the entrance to a building, etc. is not "peaceful" if it is disturbing the peace.
If a fire-hose had been utilized in this thread's situation, people would be complaining that "the law" had overstepped their bounds by fire-hosing the protesters.
And so it goes...
I know you think you understand what you thought I said,
but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!
