So basically protests are OK as long as they are easy to ignore?

Let's flip it - can your neighbour block the end your driveway and lay on their car horn 24/7 for weeks straight if they say they're protesting the government? Bonus points for harassing you if you walk by

I wouldn't like it, but I also wouldn't call it an illegal protest because I don't like it.

Truth be told I've rarely encountered a protest I liked - they are always annoying (even the ones I agree with are annoying - they block traffic to friends and foes equally).

It comes with the territory, and it's something you must tolerate to have a democracy.

It's not for 21 days straight at noise levels capable of permanent hearing damage. It's really not.
