Restaurants and perhaps other public venues where it could be expected readily recognizable figures could attend should develop an emergency contingency plan and discuss it with their staff.
One gets on the phone to the cops and the others rally around the victim putting themselves between them and the protagonists while stating the miscreants are trespassers and must immediately leave.

Why wouldn't they have already done this?
I don't think it's in the restaurant business's best interest to have a plan for how to shield people the public at large disdains.
If I were a restauranteur, I'd be happier if he and others equally disdained didn't show up so I'd have to waste my staff time protecting him from protesters.
And that's not a political statement - at all - I'd say it the other way around for people on either side. It's just a "what's good for business" stance. And "what's good for business" is not seeking and attracting patrons who bring controversy with them.
Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government;
I have no issue with protesting but to do it in a place of business and getting into somebody's face is just completely insane no matter what side of the aisle you are on. I can't stand Cruz but the people harassing him are completely out of control. How were they even allowed in there in the first place? I feel bad for the other patrons.
well this is what the left is. this is who they have become. you need to consider that. this is about totalitarian intimidation. there isn't a dimes worth of difference between the modern American left and the various radical European political parties of the post WW1 era when they were running around beating each others brains out trying to violently get to the top.

So it's not the protesters that shouldn't "show up", it's their victims who shouldn't show up?
Is it just me, or is something wrong with that kind of thinking?
