But Ed wasn't "doing" anything. He wasn't being violent, he didn't threaten to harm anyone. He was exercising HIS right to free speech. Loudly. Obnoxiously. But that's all it was. He didn't try to peek in the woman's house, he didn't even get out of his golf cart. He didn't trespass on her property, he didn't use a bullhorn to disturb the peace in the middle of the night. He just parked on the street in his golf cart-of-signs. The judge awarded the woman a restraining order against him - for exercising HIS right to free speech.
