That is the paradox, if you will, of "public property." I will expand on this in another post, maybe tomorrow. [More]I almost forgot and needed to approve another comment to be reminded of this. Anyway, I have no earth-shaking expansion, just an observation I was unable to post in a comment yesterday because I was pressed for time on something else.
All I really meant to say is marching through neighborhoods on public access ways, as long as you are lawfully exercising your First Amendment-recognized rights, is something I may be against depending on the group, but I can't think of a law to stop that -- or a power to enforce it -- that wouldn't pose a far greater danger.
Once demonstrators get out of line and escalate things beyond that, then commensurate measures to protect property and lives become appropriate.
