What about "obstructive" in the sense of civil disobedience? For example, Rosa Parks refusing to move from her seat in the White section of the bus? Or what about a march that obstructs traffic? Or a strike that obstructs a business or institution from functioning as usual?

I am thinking in the context of shutting down other people's expression. Like shouting over speakers or barring the way or preventing others from praying or standing for the anthem. There could be concerns about those other things, particularly obstructing traffic but different

Ok, thanks for clarification. Sometimes, though, speech might be curtailed if it constitutes harassment, eg anti abortion protestors assailing women seeking abortions at clinics. Maybe in that case the protestors are obstructing others from exercising their rights.

Yes, I was torn on that one but came down on the side of moving them just far enough away so the women could go and hear what they had to say if they wanted to but could just walk straight in without having to. Also banning Britain First from the entrance of mosques.

Well said, but I also think protest needs to be strategic. Do you want to divide society or make people understand your point? The kneeling thing is only leading to more polarisation, imo. I understand it and I don't mind it, and yet I can't fully support it. Too much is at stake

It is the president who used this to increase divisiveness by calling them sons-of-bitches and repeatedly demanding conformance. That should NEVER happen from the White House.pic.twitter.com/ECQOczRbhA
