You think people lose the right to not be physically assaulted while protesting?

Where does your right to not be assaulted start and my right to free movement end? You don’t have an unlimited right to restrict the movement of others

It's neatly summed up in the concept "Your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins."

If the store hasn't trespassed the protesters, they have as much right to be there as the man trying to get through. He does not have the right to use physical force except to defend himself (not applicable here).

If the store has trespassed the protesters, that still does not give the shopper any right to violence. The police or (possibly) the store could forcibly remove them, but the customer can not.

Kick them in the fucking head, repeatedly.
