I don't think you should have a right to yell at people in restaurants or abortion clinics. That's just nutty.
The first amendment says you do have that right, at least according to the current interpretation by RWN. The nutters do make an exception when Trump's speeches are interrupted by people yelling at him. In that case the President recommends the beating up of the people who avail themselves to the freedom of speech, and he even promises to pay for any court costs that may be incurred in the process.

Well, really it goes more like this:

Individuals do have the right to yell in restaurants and abortion clinics.

However, private property rights mean that the restaurant owner and abortion clinic owner (or management) has the right to expel those people. They may not, however, dictate that people can't protest (yell) on the public sidewalk/street, though. The right to yell is as against legal or governmental action to stop the yelling - but the restaurant and abortion clinics are not required to accommodate stuff they don't like.

This is a right which both sides of the spectrum avail themselves of, and both sides tend to have their factions that complain about the others side being allowed to do it. Protesters come into a restaurant and start protesting Sarah Sanders or some Republican office-holder at a restaurant - the protesters are jerks, but they have a right to do so. The restaurant can kick them out, or let them do their thing.

My objections to asshats protesting Senators in restaurants or cornering them in elevators goes to their status as jerks. I would oppose seeing them silence, censored or prosecuted by the government.

Do you think you should have the right to yell at people in a university quad or square? How about on a public street? How about from a podium?

Protests often involve a lot of yelling.

No, I don't think you've got the right to go around yelling at people.

If you think otherwise then have at it, go for it!

Violent right-wing chat group
In April 2019, The Guardian published chat records from a right-wing chat group of four people that Shea participated in, where Shea used an alias of ‘True Warrior’ in Latin. Other members in the chat group discussed carrying out surveillance, intimidation and violent attacks on political enemies, including "Antifa" activists and "communists". Shea himself volunteered to conduct background checks on residents of Spokane, resulting in Shae naming three individuals. One of the chat group's members provided the records to The Guardian, while another confirmed the existence of the chats and acknowledged the discussion on conducting surveillance on "Antifa" people.[25]

Shea defends himself, in part by linking to an piece from a 'white nationalist' site. Ah well. Shea is a Trump supporter, and I suppose the Guardian article could be considered an attack upon him. Certainly if we accept the minimal or nonexistent support for the items in the list in the OP, the Guardian article qualifies as well.

'Rep. Matt Shea links to white nationalist website, defends running background checks on political opponents
Fuming after a new round of headlines about his interactions with far-right activists, state Rep. Matt Shea directed his 4,600 Facebook followers to an obscure Australian website that traffics in white nationalist memes and Holocaust revisionism.

Specifically, the Spokane Valley legislator shared a link to an article on XYZ.net.au that attempts to discredit Guardian journalist Jason Wilson, who revealed on Saturday that Shea took part in a 2017 text chat that discussed attacking and spying on political enemies.

It’s unclear if Shea visits the site regularly. He doesn’t appear to have shared any XYZ articles before Monday night, and he didn’t respond to multiple messages seeking comment on Tuesday, in keeping with his usual practice of ignoring media inquiries.

XYZ is akin to a slightly more extreme Australian version of Breitbart News that regularly takes aim at mainstream outlets such as the Guardian and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

“They’re a white nationalist source, and that’s a new level for Shea,” said Jac Archer, the vice chair of the Spokane County Democrats and a member of Spokane Community Against Racism. “And I think it raises the question: Is this regular reading material for Shea? Is he getting sent this stuff and not vetting it?”

If Shea had scrolled through the XYZ homepage, he might have spotted an article that mentions “how the cancerous system is cracking down on White Nationalism.”

Or he might have noticed this headline: “Alt-Christ: The emerging Christian revolt against Satanic globohomo disorder.”

Why do the Alt-Right congregate to attack the cuckiverse on sites rampant with conspiracy theories, MRA OUTRAGE!!!, and racist and homophobic bigotry? Are they simply misunderstood outsiders, like the political version of an Emo? Were they perhaps separated from the breast too soon? Do they just need someone to hug them and tell them everything's going to be alright?

It's simply the only platform left. The Satanic globohomo mofos run the major media outlets.
