  Public nuisance is a thing, no matter why its being done or who its done to. Not illegal because of the target; illegal because its a deliberately public-disturbing outburst. Like crapping on the street - never mind who you were trying to send a message to, its just not to be done.

    Unless you're saying I could be arrested for standing on the street and yelling "cow" a single time, I don't think you agree with yourself.

      If you're blocking a funeral procession at the time, I could understand an arrest and misdemeanor charges. If nobody is there, nothing is being disturbed.

  Try not to commit a crime while you are exercising your rights.
