NYC has been sued and lost many cases over what they thought they were allowed to do. There are those who want an organized promoted protest and those who do not.

When the government refuses to listen to your grievances the founders realized that the people might have to go beyond "please".

And you mix up protest with march. For lefties so hell bent on all kinds of "equality" they want things not to apply to them.

No one said that if you want to hold a parade that you shouldn't get a permit.

I support a balanced budget. I support our 2nd amendment rights. I am pro-life. I think the government has grown way too large. What there makes me a "lefty"?

Maybe it's your beliefs and biases you should look at?

Does it suck for you that the courts enforce our Constitutional rights?

These fools are not introspective enough to look around the world and see what life in the countries look like which adopt their philosophy, because they sure as hell would not want to live there.

I question where one person's rights stop.......and the rights of another person starts.

Like the right to use streets and bridges for emergency vehicles to get though.

The right to use the streets to get to work.....appointments.....shopping......etc.

It looks to me like there is no right to use the public streets either.......unless you are part of the heard of sheep.
