It was a gated community, which are all over St. Louis. They were

Apparently 'trespassing' is a meaningless term when you're doing it for
'social justice'.

Don't you even *pretend* there's a built-in tug-of-war between
"trespassing" and "peaceable assembly"?

 Why would you presume that?
 

I'd say that the protesters' rights depend on history, geometry, etc.

 I'd say (and I'd be right) that no protester has rights to come onto my
private property at all. I'm the only one who gets to decide who's
allowed and who isn't. It's pretty much in the definition.
