BTW your site is pretty horrible. Here is the rest of the text that is pretty much all cut and pasted from elsewhere.

**********

Jamie Gonzalez, 57, a Marine infantryman who saw combat during Operation Desert Storm, called the move “a slap in the face.”“For many of us, a parade is a form of closure,” he added.

“We gather together and support each other.”
organizers of the parade were told by the new york police department the march had to be restricted under de blasio s emergency executive order

The city denied a permit to the United Staten Island Veterans Organization, where veterans were slated to receive special recognition.

The organizers of the parade were told by The New York Police Department the march had to be restricted under de Blasio’s emergency executive order.“I’m incensed,” Ted Cohen, 82, an Air Force reservist during the Cuban Missile Crisis, told the New York Post.

“It’s pathetic.”But other outdoor marches took place during the pandemic such as the Black Lives Matter protests, which de Blasio even joined.De Blasio even joined the “East Harlem Pray and Protest” following the death of George Floyd.

Messed Up Things That Happened During The American Civil War

Councilman Robert Holden (D-Queens) told the New York Daily News:De Blasio “wrote the book on hypocrisy.”During his six years as mayor, he’s been nothing but a hypocrite on most things, and this is a great example.”Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and New York Attorney General Letitia James also participated in the May 1 Cannabis Parade which saw an enormous blunt down the street that said “Biden, c’mon man!” among other things.

“Look, have any parade you want, I have no problem with that,” said Volker Heyde, 78, who is the commandant of Staten Island’s Marine Corps League.“But for the city to put dopeheads over vets is just dishonoring us.”An unnamed official told the New York Post:“People are just marching. That’s the new normal.

The Staten Island people had the decorum and respect to go the proper way [and] they are suffering for their civic-mindedness. No one else is even asking permission.”Attorney Brendan Lantry demanded in a letter to the NYPD that the parade permit is issued by Monday.“Under the equal protection clause, it’s unconstitutional for the city to pick and choose between groups like this,” Lantry wrote in part.

“There’s a clear double standard going on here.”[RELATED] NYPD Union Leader: De Blasio Has Given ‘the Street Back to the Criminals’

Veterans don’t have the guts to march anyway like BLM?

Long overdue to have a parade, an armed one at that. Any politician who dares oppose it needs to find themselves tarred, feathered, and thrown onto a beach in England.

So they elect a far left pinko-commie, military hating, white people hating DemoCrap and they expect what, fairness?
Remember, these are the same (class of) people who supported LBJ and HIS war in Vietnam.
And then they had the gall to - not only protest the war - they defunded it guaranteeing a loss!

Was ready to jump on you, Sax, until I saw the question mark.

Are you challenging what someone else said, or do you somehow believe that statement?

Gotta keep the priorities, man. Kaiser Wilhelm knows his, and veterans are not on the list.

Obeisance to pot users, on the other hand, is virtue signaling.

De Blasio should perhaps be treated to a good old-fashioned blanket party...something veterans would likely be familiar with.

Don’t call it a parade. Call it a demonstration or protest.

Better yet, just have the thing. Hang permission.
