Why? They're not denying them their right to protest, they're simply creating reasonable conditions under which they can protest to promote public safety.
Namely, their own safety.
Can you see where that might lead? Protest zones, well removed from political candidates, for instance, all in the guise of protecting public safety.
I call bullshit. Government, particularly the federal government, does not have a role in this situation. It's yet another form of undermining free speech, under the mask of protection.
People need to wake up.
Simple Distinction. A Funeral is Not a Political Event. Further, it is Private. I'd agree with you, that the Protestors have the Right to Protest, so I don't support the Time Restriction, I do support the consideration of it being placed out of Earshot, as it is disruptive. People attending a Funeral, have a Right to be left alone.
They are protesting on public ground.
