leftists have grown weary of free speech, it seems.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler also said he is trying to ensure that a permit is not issued for a June 10 protest, which is reported by ABC Portland affiliate KATU to be called #MarchAgainstSharia.

The city has not issued any permits for either of the two events, which are planned for the Terry Shrunk Plaza, Wheeler said. The federal government controls permitting for the venue and has issued a permit for the June 4 demonstration, called the Trump Free Speech Rally, he said.

He does realize he is proving the rallies entire point right? Free speech rally and lefty mayor wants it shut down....SMH. Tell him to stop crying and not attend! Oh and its odd how he has NOT asked for the ANTIFA counter rally be canceled they are planning.

NO mask rule NOW. That will shut 80% of the violence and allow arresting the perps on the other 20%.

You don't need a permit to exercise your free speech right.

Respect the liberties of all, but when another violates that and attacks you, PUT THEM DOWN!

We start doing that, they will stop attacking.

We are supposed to have a right to free speech. Portland's mayor may not like this, but a public meeting to support free speech is not anything that could cause hostility from anyone but AntiFA. As others have correctly pointed out, no masks at protests.

The ironic part is that Portland is one of the whitest major cities ever. And Oregon has been one of the most racist low-key states the past two centuries (Oregon was the only states blacks literally were banned from. Portland also didn't even start having a diverse scene until about 5-6 years ago.).

Anyone else notice how Portland is ran by mostly white people? Yet, they are the ones who are always supposedly fighting for non-whites? Just as long as none of the non-whites get into in a position of power, or if anyone speaks out against them, the're fine. But if you want free speech to speak out against something the Mayor or any of the white SJWs are against, you need to be silenced.

The irony there is just classic.

This is incorrect.

I heard the mayor say this also. He was incorrect.

Hate speech is protected speech.
