On the one hand the government is allowing 10,000 angry hornets to mass at the starting point of the parade. They are also allowing them to build bleachers to hold 1,000 protesters--giving them high ground from which to launch objects at the parade participants and materiel (the bleacher parts) with which to use as weapons.
On the other hand, the law-abiding demonstrators have to quibble over handheld crosses and little American flags on sticks.
I think placing all the nuts in one spot is a good idea, they are a lot easier to watch that way.
