As for that part in bold, though, trying to compare those situations is pretty rough. The protests are about black people not receiving due process under the law. Their right to life being stripped of them without the same constitutionally guaranteed protections as white people. They are protesting the loss of their constitutional rights, not just being made uncomfortable by people yelling outside their home. What they are doing may be a shitty thing, but what they are protesting about goes far beyond that.
I completely agree with you, although I would still back a law banning protesting in from of private residences as stated earlier. I just wish the same courtesy and consideration was given to the people protesting the gun control laws in VA or showing up to protest, lawfully, at the state capital in MI. For some reason those two groups were tarred as radical extremists and worse. Both groups were at the state capital, not in front of someone's private residence.
