I don't know that inconvenience is the same as threatened (which, by the way, is the difference that Atticus keeps missing when he brings up abortion protesters), but yes. The reason to do it there is to put greater pressure on the person in question, which is, after all, the point of a protest.

Using RT's example -- would you feel the same about a protest at an abortion provider's home? If it's wrong for the one, it's wrong for the other.
Context matters. I do not have a problem with a peaceful candlelight vigil at an abortion provider's home, if that's all it is. But those protests are infused with the history of violence against abortion providers by anti-abortion activists.
