But were not responding to the black mass performance in terms of religious liberty. They will be doing their satanic rituals in the future as they have in the pastand I suppose they have a right to do thatbut the nature of this black mass, in my view, is that it is not authentic religion; its really more akin to hate speech. Its a direct attack upon the Christian faith and the Catholic Mass and the Eucharist. Its deliberately intended to inflame and incite, so I dont think its necessarily a form of speech that is appropriate for a public venue. Not all speech is protected speech. If, for example, a group had desired to come and rent this same facility for the purpose of burning the Quran or lighting a cross in a racist, Ku Klux Klan sort of demonstration, or somehow committing anti-Semitic acts, I think the city likely would have found a reason to prevent that. Not all speech is protected speech. Bingo! Ping!
