Hamburg decides that public property belongs to "the government".

Guess there was a gathering in Hamburg recently that I wish I could've attended. Appears that the spineless supervisor doesn't like the fact King Kumhole must've put him on notice for letting the peasants show dissention against the king.

Hamburg Supervisor James Shaw wants to prohibit political events on town property following a controversial gun rights rally held last weekend outside Town Hall that featured a show trial of a Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo puppet and highly visible support for President Trump and other Republican candidates.

"I don't think that should occur on publicly owned property supported by all the taxpayers," Shaw told The Buffalo News.
Shaw said he plans to introduce a local law barring overtly political rallies or other events on town property and requiring organizers of nonpartisan protests to apply for a permit, post a security deposit and agree to hold the town harmless in case someone gets injured during the event.

If you don't like the outcome of the game.....just change the rules. Weasel.

I bet they let blm or antifa do whatever they want wherever they want though.

The intolerant left: the only free speech is what we allow

Is absolutely amazing... That's all!

He ever hear of the 1A? You can't peacefully protest in public unless he approves of your message? This will be ruled unconstitutional if it even goes through.

So how about all the riots and BLM protests? Will the same apply to them and they be banned? I know the answer.

It will go through. Will not be ruled unconstitutional.

They will be allowed.

He can go get fucked. 1A allows you the right to assemble on public property and express your views. If he doesn't like the message too bad for him.

Where is the Buffalo news article? He is kissing ass on Facebook. But still FUCK Him for trying to make people pay to exercise their right to peacefully assemble.

 

[Defilade]

Do it anyway! Fuck him, Do it in front of his house!

then end taxation ... since its theft anyways ..

I disagree with your assessment. Content-based speech restrictions in a space that is a public forum are reviewed with strict scrutiny and almost always struck down. If the town decided to ban all speech, that might fly if the ban was narrowly tailored to serve an important purpose and alternative forums were available.

I think there are many really, really missing the point...

Public land is exactly that: Public Land. It is our land. This is not the property of the town.

This is why public officials should not be personally immune from lawsuits.

This guy is going to violate the rights of every person in that town, and he will walk scot free. The taxpayers will be on the hook for defending the law, and nobody will be on the hook for punitive damages.

If a law is ruled unconstitutional there should be an automatic class action suit against everyone who voted for it or signed it into law. They should be *personally* responsible.

If it bankrupts them, well they should be more careful with the rights of their constituents.
