Having or not having an escort is not based on the content of the float. 
It's based on whether a threat is made. As such, some floats having an 
escort and others not does not implicate the First Amendment in this case.

Now you might say the same reasoning ought to apply to denying the float 
in the first place: it was based on a threat, not the content of the 
float. But, the threat was based on the content and thus denying the 
float would be accede to a heckler's objection. The heckler's veto is 
not permitted by the First Amendment.

In contrast, not providing an escort for a float that is not threatened 
does not give into a heckler.
