2. Is it *ever* legitimate to try to shut down someone else's speech?

I don't think so. No matter how righteous, or vile, interfering with the assembly of other people is wrong.

I guess I'm of the old school "I disagree with what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it".

Throwing things at cops is stupid, I shall never have the slightest sympathy for whatever happens to someone that does that; they are lucky not to have been shot.

Part of planning any protest is to have a plan for agents provocateurs, thankfully the planners of protests here (Sonoma County)had plenty of people to stop the damned anarchists from trashing things and damagin
g the town we live in.

No one, anywhere, ever, for any reason, should be denied their say, no matter how much I hate what they are saying.
