Rhetorical question - are the tents protected as free speech? (We are talking about “Occupy Wall Street” after all).

That’s the tact I think the lawyers for the protesters would use - and they did find a judge favorable to their position.

But as with all things relating to the 1st Amendment, there are limitations on speech, and this might have crossed the line.
