The first amendment: "Congress shall make no law... or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." This doesn't seem to cover meetings held on private property where the owners can have idiots ejected or arrested for trespass, simply by revoking their permission for said idiot to be there. Secondly he didn't seem to petitioning the government, just badgering a public official. The fact that the cops who were called by the management over reacted is not per se a violation of the idiots freedom of speech, certainly not by congress, or the state government, .though he may have basis for an action against those police officers for battery.
