The claim that it is menacing or intimidating and so isn’t covered by the first amendment seems nonsensical to me. No rational person expects that the ballon to attack them.

The claim is that the people holding the rat will attack them, and having the rat is to advertise a threat.

By that logic then any picket line could be banned.
