Your example is not equivalent. To be equivalent I would have to be arguing you cannot tell people they cannot assemble peacefully. This is not the case groups of people are taking active measures to deny folks their right to peaceful assembly, not making their assemblies confrontational.

If we follow your stance then the most forceful group always wins. Governments should work to ensure that does not happen and ensure folks have the right to peacefully assemble no matter how mad it makes some people.

Yea, only the government can be the party who is denying your right to peacefully assemble. Someone also exercising their right to peacefully assemble and promoting a counter cause to your own doesn't deny you your right to continue to assemble. 

People can assault people. They can vandalize the property of others. They can steal from them. They can't deny them their right to assemble, though. This isn't a matter of opinion, it's just a fact.
