Maybe 90 days in jail would help them understand their right to free speech is not unlimited with respect to time and place.

Since New York isn't the fascist state you are hoping for, they will probably end up with a fine.

They aren't wrong to protest the orders of a man who is currently wanted by an international court for war crimes.

Where in my single sentence did I say they "were wrong to protest the orders of a man who is currently wanted by an international court for war crimes." ?
The inability of people to read with any level of comprehension in here is why I don't post much anymore. You dumb fucks are like the middle schoolers in the back of my bus.

There is only one kind of speech that isn't protected by our Constitution. What they did was absolutely protected. Are you too much of a coward to hear the truth?

The Supreme Court has ruled multiple times that Government has some limited ability to control time. place and manner of speech.
For instance, you can't block the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in the name of free speech.
You yourself said they will likely get fined. Why would they get fined at all if blocking a parade fall under protected free speech?
This has nothing to do with WHAT they said. Only the where, when and how. I'd be fine if they did it on the sidewalk.

Google up "time, place and manner" restrictions on free speech. Stop acting stupid.

The act of blocking a parade has nothing to do with their right to conduct peaceful protest. Two separate activities. Your comment specify addressed jailing them for protected speech.

Either way, I'd consider their actions successful, and no one would get jail time for what they did. It's a ticket.

It would be breach of peace or something which is likely a misdemeanor.

They have nothing to lose. I applaud them.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.
