Wait a minute. Are you saying that you think the Street Preachers knew they would get a VIOLENT reaction? Clearly they were trying to get their attention, but that doesn't mean they were seeking a violent reaction.

The Mormons want to spend millions to convert the public property into private property, just so the public cannot engage in this kind of activity next to their Temple. In other words, they want their privacy. You really do not seem to understand what free speech is all about. If you move the public areas far away on purpose, you are squelching free speech. How can people raise objections to what the Temple if doing to the ones who need to hear it most if you close off the public forums near the Temple? They certainly have a right to their privacy in their buildings, but to go out of their way and spend millions to prohibit criticism only communicates that they have a lot to hide. One thing we can say about the Jewish Temple, they never did that. They recognized areas near the Temple for everyone, including Gentiles, and they separated areas within the Temple where women were not allowed and where only priests could go.

You have to clear the lot, remove the old structures, then lay down the foundation and then build the house. Don't try building until you have first cleared the land, and you call that being obnoxious? Peace be with you.
