Pro-choice protests outside Alito's house in Virginia

Hat tip for the tweets, a RW site, https://ussanews.com/2022/05/10/mob-grows-outside-alitos-house-security-stepped-up-just-watches-crime-in-action/

He doesn't live in Alexandria. I know where that shopping center is. He's down by Mount Vernon.

I am not part of the protests, but I have seen no footage that suggests that they are anything other than a peaceable assembly of people exercising their First Amendment rights.

We have been coordinating with
@FairfaxCountyPD
,
@VSPPIO
, and federal authorities to ensure that there isn’t violence. Virginia State Police were closely monitoring, fully coordinated with Fairfax County and near the protests.

Protesters have reached Alito's home, where they were met with perhaps a dozen cops stationed along the length of the street.

Protesting regularly even when there were no consequences for not wearing masks or getting vaccinated. They attacked school boards at their homes and at schools. Pro forced birth supporters murdered doctors in their churches....and their imaginary gods were ok with that murder.

Yet forcing birth on women can't be protested the same way when judges decide to control our medical decisions?

Why are these judges protected against hearing the protests of the people they about to shackle?

FYI: Protesting is a fundamental right protected by the First Amendment.

This generally includes our ability to march in public streets & sidewalks, even in residential neighborhoods, to make our dissent known.

People in power should not be able to restrict that right.
