Apparently the charge was related to blocking access to the hotel, which, climate issues aside, I don't think I can say is entirely unreasonable.

Should a mob of neo-Nazis have the right to block entrance to a synagogue? Probably not, and you cannot add "unless it's for a good cause" qualifiers to laws like these. I imagine she'll pay a fine and that'll be that.
