Too bad, but we’re playing a bit of an ‘outrageous sense of entitlement’ game to expect someone completely opposed to a political event to allow his private property to be used.

Dont any Conservatives own anything anymore? I kind of feel like we became the dirt-poor party of beggers when I wasnt paying attention.

Totally agree.

I would have been surprised - no, shocked - if this went through with no resistance from opposing political interests.

Atlanta ain't exactly a conservative city.

This is part of the media pushed narrative that says all Republicans are filthy rich, white guys.

In fact, those are the Democrat's biggest donors. Barack Obama didn't build his war chest with small, everyman contributions, as is frequently repeated by his media co-conspirators. He raised record amounts of cash from the super-rich, and their bundlers.

Well, they don't own car dealerships anymore. Obama took them away, and gave it all to his friends.

Technically, the way I read it, his property is NOT being used. He is objecting to a use on property where he has a shared easement right.

He's on strong footing, but he's also being a dink, and it's worth pointing out he is controlling a space that is not exclusively his to control. It's a quasi-public space.

the event was on private property [not Simon's], the mall was able to assert authority on the matter due to reciprocal property easement agreements.

1. Simon Property Group does not own the property on which the Tea Party was to have been held.

2. George Thorndyke, the owner of the property in question, had agreed to allow the Atlanta Tea Party to use his property free of charge and had gone an extra step in sponsoring fireworks.

3. Although the event was to have occurred on private property not owned by Simon Property Group, the mall was able to assert authority on the matter due to reciprocal property easement agreements. The people upset about this story understand that. But they're not happy with the 11th hour interference.
