> Interrupting a motorcade is not free speech.

Am I not exercising free speech if I talk over you? Why is interrupting a motorcade any different? Motorcades are arguably expressions in and of themselves.

In civilized places, we do not talk over another. We take turns to speak.

> Why is interrupting a motorcade any different?

It is not different indeed. They are both wrong. Especially if the motorcade is organized by the public authority in a democracy, and the protestor is a small group in search of an audience that could not be bothered to listen to their arguments.
