The family is harassed by having a group of angry protesters right outside their house. What did the rest of her family do to warrant such an occurrence?

Precisely, in any form. When it's done directly outside your personal residence it ratchets that up tenfold.

I get what you're saying but I don't think it's hard to draw a line at all. Just because you're a public employee does not mean you should lose your right to be safe in your home. They want to protest the mayor, do it outside her place of business. I get in this instance she doxed people so they felt the need to respond in some sort of kind.
