Perhaps some people need to consult a dictionary? First, crowding into public buildings, chanting, threatening people, and otherwise interfering with other people's lives stretches the definition of peaceful pretty close to the breaking point.

Second, maybe you could go back and read what I actually wrote? The pro-union groups can do all the peaceable assembling & petitioning they want: my question is how you define it as democratic when the desires of a noisy mob are placed above those of the great majority who aren't there protesting?

Do the pro-union sheeple get to drown out all the other voices, simply because they're good at chanting simple-minded slogans in unison?
