A group of six Knoxville residents are suing the Tennessee Valley Authority , claiming it violated their free speech rights by refusing them entry into a TVA board of directors meeting. The six people were dressed in zombie costumes when they were denied entry.
Knoxville News Sentinel writes that they are also seeking an injunction stopping TVA from barring costumed citizens from attending meetings.
Protestors in Chattanooga last July dressed up as zombies to urge TVA not to complete a plant in Bellefonte, where work has been idled since 1988. The protestors called Bellefonte a corpse of a power plant, the News Sentinel reports.
TVA subsequently announced that no one in costume would be allowed to attend its Aug. 18 board meeting to avoid disruptions.
Double Tap.....Lousy Zombie Democrats!(I hope someone keeps them away from the Voting Booth)
Uh.. just like you don’t have the right to scream “Fire!” in a crowded theater, you don’t have the right to cause public disruption.
Please tell me they do know this?
