Radicals like Nazi's and the KKK have been allowed to march through primarily Jewish areas and other places while the police were told to keep the peace while they marched.
What happened here, in my opinion, is a "caving in" to "special interests" who probably think themselves so "special" that no one should be allowed to protest their little "get-togethers".
Exactly. THIS is why we must stand up for free speech and assembly no matter what our opinions of the protesters or what they are protesting.
If we do otherwise, we will be beat over the head with the same stick we handed the government.
