Of course the SC should always protect the 1st amendment. The law was not in issue in that case. The facts however demonstrated that the organizer directed and encouraged the mob to initiate violent assaults and commit crimes and such actions are criminal.Must be tough when the boogeymen aren't the terrorists you knew they were...

Supreme Court rules in favor of Black Lives Matter organizer
The Supreme Court wiped away a lower court opinion related to Black Lives Matter protests that critics argued would chill the speech rights of demonstrators and dismantle civil rights era precedent that safeguards the First Amendments' right to protest.
"The Supreme Court has long recognized that peaceful protesters cannot be held liable for the unintended, unlawful actions of others," said American Civil Liberties Union National Legal Director David Cole, who is representing McKesson. "If the law had allowed anyone to sue leaders of social justice movements over the violent actions of others, there would have been no Civil Rights Movement. The lower court's ruling is a threat to the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans."
That is why the lower court ruled as they did and why that scumbag should be in jail.
