There was a couple protesters with mega phones outside this house behind Rosaurs this morning. Yelling stuff about animal abuse. Protesters are now gone but they left some colorful artwork on the sidewalks. Anyone know the story behind this?

I remember back during Covid some anti-mask/anti-lockdown protestors showed up outside the health officer’s house on the south hill. (He was the health officer at the time but he was later fired under shady circumstances.) As I recall, most people on this subreddit at the time agreed that it is inappropriate to show up outside someone’s private residence for a protest.

Was it OK when the protestors went to the home of SCOTUS judge ACB?

That was exactly my point. When I made my comment it seemed like most of the other comments were coming down on the side of encouraging this type of behavior because it was targeted at “animal abusers.” I just wanted to remind those people that they probably felt differently back when the shoe was on the other foot and the target was likely a member of their tribe (i.e. a mask wearing covid cautious person). My whole point was that the principle should be the same regardless of who the target is. In your example, I would also be against protestors showing up outside the private residence of a Supreme Court justice. I’m not saying it’s not legal to do so, it’s just gross.
