I'm sorry that, in your worldview, there were only two outcomes for the incident portrayed in the OP.
And we do understand the definition of assault, hell I've posted it on here enough times. Apparently you do not, nor the definition of "peaceful" nor "force", so I guess it follows that you have no idea what assault is either.
Yes, you can scream in someone's face, but you can't stop them from leaving so you can't scream in their face anymore.
See the distinction?
You're right. "Battery" is the correct term for what I was describing.

That might explain your problem. Go research. But from your dog comment it sounded like you knew all about them.
If they used freedom of speech, then they're good. If they infringed upon the rights of others, not good.
Although that wasn't the freedom riders I was talking about, but it fits. I meant the bikers who stand in the way of the Westboro fellas. Apparently they are the Patriot Guard. But certainly the Freedom Riders fit here.
Well, no, not necessarily. Many states simply use assault, like Iowa does. They are largely interchangeable.
Westboro Baptist Church conducts peaceful protests. They chant and display offensive signs. I have no problem with that sort of protest (even though I detest their message).
If the freedom riders prevent the Westboro Baptists from entering private property to harass mourners, then I don't have a problem with that.
However, if the freedom riders try to prevent the Westboro Baptists from protesting in public spaces or freely traveling on public roads or sidewalks, then I have a problem with that.
The student reporter was absolutely subjected to unwanted touching. Over and over again.
They didn't stop them from leaving. No one touched anyone. You didn't watch the video did you? No one could watch that video and think like you. I mean you are out right making up shit. It's kind of hilarious that you are even trying to get away with this. Do you expect us to believe you in other threads now?
WTF! Protesters now can freely use public roads? Have you repented and accepted the spirit of reason into your soul?
They're in a car. They're driving down the road. A bunch of thugs block the car. They are prevented from continuing upon their lawful path. That is infringing upon their liberties. Never mind they were disrupting an official event and everyone else's day as well. They're asshats. Stop defending them.
Again, I didn't count the number of posts, but we are up to at least 2 now.
I think we're getting to the root. You just don't like them, so they should be carted away. Really poor showing tonight.
I would not like anyone who infringes upon the rights of other people. Black, white, gay, straight, Christian, Muslim or interstellar alien.
Oh, let me guess. You have a problem with the word "thug"...
The word "thug" comes from an Indian word, "Thuggee." It doesn't have anything to do with black people.
Thuggees would ambush travelers in India and rob them of their valuables (i.e., infringe upon their liberties).
The protesters ambushed the president's car and robbed him of 10 minutes of his time.
Seems like an appropriate use of the word to me.
I got to say I was inspired to research other marches in history. Presuming the parade had properly obtained a permit? Then yes, impeding the progress of the parade was probably against the law. (I'm no lawyer, but it sounds similar to other events I read about)
They can walk around. If you stand in the middle of the street not a lot of options for a car.
Even if it wasn't a permitted parade, you can't surround people in cars and force them to sit there and listen to you. Anyone suggesting this is a remotely-acceptable form of protest isn't being honest with themselves.
Yeah, who goes to a parade (or sporting event, movie, theater, favorite coffee place, etc) anymore to just have mindless fun. Thanks for keeping it real, brother.
Hold on partner, I was siding with you on this one. The protestors derailed a parade. Presuming the parade had a permit and they didn't? Then no, the protestors can't stop it.
And, theIowaHawk, I don't mean to upset your idea of fair play, "Ahhhh the glorious smell of freedom. Permits from the local constabulary...", but what if it were the protestors who held the permit and another group prevented them from marching?
Not challenging you. Actually, just trying to say that because it was a permitted parade, that makes the behavior even worse.
LMAO.....sometimes I kinda like your posts, and sometimes you're kind of a moron.
Those dastardly, violent, forceful hooligans!
No, poor showing by you. Especially you, one of the more reasonable leftites here. I am disappoint.
From my vantage, you do like the protesters - more specifically their message - so you don't want them carted away.
How did the Columbia Police disband these lawful peaceful protesters anyway, without further incident? Should be an uproar, right?
Jesus effing Christ some of you have an amazing combo of anger and stamina.
The Tradition has a brilliant trolling style, kudos.

Bloody terrorists forcing people to move out of the way and destroying Liberty. The mall cop should have shot them all.So, you're the guy that started flash mobs.
I want to put a nativity scene on the courthouse lawn. You have no problem with that do you?
