Give me an effing break. You're just twisted because it was some Albertans who finally stood up to these clowns.

Step beyond your right-wing reflexive - try reading what I actually wrote. I said there was a right to counter-protest. Once your heroes stepped beyond the 'from a distance' shouting/hurling insults (by both sides), once they encroached into the immediate space of the protestors to dismantle the blockade, their actions became those of vigilantes.
vigilante: a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate.
your emphasis on the absence of violence/force is meaningless - it's the action of vigilantes that increases the likelihood for violence.
