First, I don't put inconsiderate jerks into different categories depending on their political leanings. Left wing fascists/hatemongers are just as much a concern as right wing fascists/hatemongers. Each plays tweedle dum to the other's tweedle dee.

The tactics of violence and intimidation have a tradition with these alt-right types and that's what I'm asking about.

You don't need to 'oppose' Antifa as they themselves are a reaction to the original problem.

Second, we to need to adopt a policy that exercising your free speech rights by getting in other peoples faces is not conducive to civil discourse so potentially conflicting groups will not be allowed to congregate in the same place at the same time. i.e. if pride books a park for a day the anti-pride protestors will need to find some place else suitably far away to exercise their free speech rights. Same rules apply when left wing groups are upset that some right wing group has an event or a speaker.

The police would need to enforce the separation requirement.

Ok.  So if there's a women's march then the pro-life people can't attend ?  And a 'The Jews Are Evil' march should happen with police protection so they are not disrupted ?  I'm ok with saying that far-left and far-right both present problems but they are assymmetric and you can't create an objective criteria to respond right now.
