State Rep. Bill Morrow held an anti-illegal immigration forum in Carlsbad a while back, and first the city tried to cancel it. They rescinded that after being threatened with a suit; at issue is whether a "heckler's veto" is able to block First Amendment rights. The event when through as scheduled, but Carlsbad then came back and sent Morrow a bill for security.
Morrow has in turn sued Carlsbad, and he says the suit is necessary to protect everyone's right to free speech. Details in this letter.

There could be a business opportunity here: create a private security operation, then arrange blowhard threats to disrupt some gathering, followed by an offer to provide security to the gatherees. I mean, if freedom of speech and peaceful assembly are going down a shithole because of this kind of intimidation, someone might as well make money out of it.
