Honks of Terror

Whether this claim is originating from propagandists via the state, or is actually the original sentiment of thoughtful residents is worth discussing, but we can take it at face value just the same

AOC said it best -> protest is supposed to make people feel uncomfortable.

The argument is that it makes people so uncomfortable that it is a form of violence, but this is too subjective. I understand the frustration and the consideration that it is something which can affect physical health, but that is also true of lockdowns, restricting social ineractions, limiting movement, and reallocating public funds. It is ialso true of the devaluing of people's assets and income -> eradication of material wealth and reducing their potential to pursue livelihoods.

You can make the case that horns and traffic prevent or impede pursuit of lifelihoods, but this is less concrete and not obvious. Increase of prospective customers, for example, is a net positive for those offering food and service.

The rest of the allegations have been no more than hearsay, admissions of fear, and preemptive suggestions from organizations. News media showed a clip of woke citizens, masked outside, walking as a group in order to deter violence and harassment.

The only thing missing is evidence.

The fear is the evidence, and the fear itself is not verifiable,and originates from those who dirwectly express tehir ascription to the philosophies which are logically expected to be opposed to those whom they allege guilty of wrongdoing. Call them your favourite pejorative until society helps you control them.
