Politician Homes & Protestors. New Laws.

Why is this important? First amendment attorney expect the ordinance to be struck down in the courts as cities can use trespassing or targeted threats laws.

How will this be important? Protestors continue to be unruly on each side, expect more local or state laws on this.
