Its very much:
"I may not agree with what you're saying, but I'll defend your right to say it so long as you accept the consequences of saying it."
They have the right to protest, even if I think they're protesting something dumb as all hell. Thats fine.
But you cant just do whatever you want. The last Ottawa Convoy thing was a huge breakdown in the systems and application of law and order from the Cop on the street all the way up.
You show up...you honk around a bit...you make your displeasure known with your "Down with this sort of thing" signs and then you have to leave...whether you want to or not.
You dont have to go home...but you cant stay here.

100%, you have the right to protest but not to break numerous laws doing so. You break laws and stuff happens, had the cops done their jobs early on, arrest/charge, ticket, tow/impound we would not be having this discussion. The blocks would have never happened. ALL OF THIS IS ON THE COPS.
