[QUOTE="fedx, post: 2609871, member: 64891"] You're really not talking about constitutional rights, you're talking about state code laws in general. In the first scenario that would be breaking and entering, robbery. Second scenario would be trespassing at the very least. You can't put a logging chain on a bank door anymore than a church door. Third would be assault whether it be KKK or BLM members (whichever hate group you want to use). BTW, how many burning KKK crosses have you seen in person? You can't tie anyone up to a tree anymore than a burning cross. These are laws to protect people from harm, not to protect people's constitutional rights. The Constitution was originally to protect people from the government and no one else, but did get expanded through time. So in your scenarios the defendants wouldn't be charged with violating the constitutional rights of their victims. They would be charged with violating state codes. If someone wants to exercise their 1st Amendment right to speech, they cannot go on to someone's private property to do it if it's unwelcome. If someone wants to exercise their freedom of religion and sacrifice a goat at Walmart, Walmart can stop that person from doing it. If a business wants to ban gun carrying customers from their business, they can even though it's their 2nd Amendment right. So individuals and groups can and do violate people's constitutional rights everyday. Private property trumps constitutional rights. [/QUOTE]
