Nothing's being "thrown away". They're still getting their platform and media coverage (which will be massive). However they do not OWN the city and have no right to shut it down or put its residents to unnecessary expense or inconvenience. And the city has every right to bitch about the cost and seek redress in court.

The peaceniks are having a rally, and we're having a rally. Everyone gets their "free" speech on the 15th. God Bless America, and heaven help New York.

Well it would seem the protections offered by the Constitution are not important to some people. This is exactly what I have been saying on this thread. If we violate the principals of the Constitution when it is in our favor, we cannot complain when we have very few rights left. Every day the creeps in government chip away, law by law, regulation by regulation our Constitutional protections and you want to help that process along because you don't agree with the message or it may be inconvenient?

I am very glad the founding fathers did not care about inconvenience.

It is a shame we are letting the founders down by yielding our rights for something important to us at the moment.

If as you say, they do something other than protest, fine, we have laws to cover that without violating the Constitution. We should expect NYC to enforce the laws against violence, vandalism, blocking traffic with vigor, but we should not call for a ban on "peaceful protest" even if it is from scum.

Preventing the free speech, right to assembly of these sub-human, ungrateful, communist maggots is not proper and would simply lower us to their level. The left has succeeded for years in stifling the voice of the Conservative by marginalizing our opinions, ridicule, their dominance of the media and plain outright lying. I for one will not play their games.

I prefer to let them make fools of themselves. They do a very good job of that with their shrill voices spouting their Marxist BS. It's like a gay pride parade. How many people do you think see these prancing idiots and say to themselves "you know, I think they are right and I will now support their cause" or do you think maybe we look at them and say: "what friggen idiots, they better not come around my kids"?
