You're allowed to form a picket line, but you're not allowed to physically prevent people from crossing it. And that's the way it should be -- if I feel like going to Wal-Mart then the opinion of fifty (or fifty thousand) random people on whether I should be allowed to do so or not really doesn't enter into it.
The picketers aren't touching you, but you do become aware of the fact that they are there.
It seems like the epitome of peaceful protest.
Surely you're not suggesting that all "peaceful protest" is acceptable, because it isn't.
Peaceful merely means that you're not committing battery. That's not enough to make something acceptable, and attaching "protest" help.
Your right to speak does not imply that I have an obligation to listen.
