The fact that this professor hasn't been fired yet is meaningless. With today's political situation, he could easily be fired. First of all, you have not demonstrated that there is any real danger of this professor's employer reacting to these protests by firing him. All you have demonstrated is that there are people who are calling for his resignation.
Second of all, employers have the free choice whom they employ, and when to break that contract of employment. If they choose to fire somebody because of some protesters, then that's on them: The employer is responsible for their own action.
A protester, on the other hand, is not morally responsible for how other people react to their protests.
You are correct on all counts!
My only point is that this is not something to be merely tolerated or shrugged off. If this type of thing grows, it could be a danger to the Rights of the accused. Therefore those who disagree with these protestors have to speak up.

It's not a Slipery Slope. It actually happens.
And this sort of thing has happened before throughout history.
When the accused cannot find good legal representation, fair trials go out the window.

Can you please name these numerous historical examples of peaceful legitimate protests directly causing the loss of a lawyer's rights to choose his clients?
