The 1st amendment is there to protect US citizens from the GOVERNMENT, not from other private citizens. Unless the counter protesters are being ordered by the government, or paid by the government, or government institution(public college, school, etc.) to shut someone up, then it has nothing to do with the 1st amendment.
