You seem to be glossing over the key piece of that statute. Peaceful protest is protected by the first amendment (free speech, right to assembly).

You seem to be glossing over the key piece of that statute. Peaceful protest is protected by the first amendment (free speech, right to assembly).
This statute defines the conditions where free speech transitions to criminal activity.
You can interpret it however you like.
Intimidation, or threat at the very least seems applicable here if you have any idea of what's going on in Minnesota and what these Signal chats are being used for.
You heard about the one who got his finger bit off, yes?
I haven't seen the supposed Signal logs, but I'm confident that there wasn't a conspiracy to bite someone's finger.
If you threaten to kill somebody then follow them around for days at a time, is that intimidation?
Blocking law enforcement's vehicles and their person (I saw several protestors put hands on officers), when they are conducting arrests, certainly seems to fit the bill.
