Let me clarify:
Those people may be jackasses. The conduct reported upon in Atticus's story was not jackassery. I don't have a problem with protesting at a public officials' house per se, although it's an easy place to go over the line. But there was nothing in that article that indicated that lines have been crossed.
I'm really not sure what you mean by "organize" though, and they seem to have found a way to be heard.
Finally, if no one would notice them occupying a small piece of land in front of City Hall, wouldn't city officials have been far smarter to let them do so?
