Ban all counter protests happening on the same day in the same town or city
There are often counter protests at times where large protests are happening. This causes a vast amount of pressure on police presence and is a huge factor on public money paying to keep counter protests peaceful. There can be violent behaviour, so it needs to stop.

Background
The time has come to put an end to counter protests as they can be unruly and violent. The police are under a lot of pressure to police these counter protests, so they should be banned from happening at the same town or city as any protests happening. People need to be able to attend protests peacefully without counter protesters, some of who act violently or irrationally, by bullying and violently harassing the protesters or speakers. We need to stop this bullying!
