So the performative macho overkill: There are two doors, you buzz yourself in at the side, doesn't take 20 people sweetie.

In C.17th Quaker meetings were frequently attacked and closed by the authorities. But by the Peterloo massacre, the Mount St Meeting sheltered wounded protesters safely
I know the right wing media finds it all very difficult so, in an attempt to be helpful, this is what an actual interference with free speech looks like.
