Protesting

Protesting can either be a peaceful act or a very messy one. Once violations are made violating the first amendment thats when you are no longer protected by your rights.

-example: destruction to private property.

Expressive action is when actions are protected but when they are not expressed they are unprotected which means laws are broken and violations are made.

speech- protected

action- unprotected --> expressive action becomes protected

State action doctrine- a legal principle that the Fourteenth Amendment applies only to state and local governments, it does not apply to private entities.
