Joey, peaceful picketing is, of course, legal. However, If patrons are aggressively accosted and harassed, not to mention if the establishment is vandalized, the action rises to the level of criminal activity.

The point is that a simple boycott by people who wouldn’t have gone to place anyway would not have been intimidating enough to the owners to force a concession from them.
