Well - isn't that special. I guess the law only applies to other people, right? Talk about the "Terminally Self-Important."

As for the LEO's, the same privilege should be extended to any other group wishing to use the park. Right? Like Tea Partiers, or folks selling crafts or household items from tables, or people setting up to collect petition signatures.

After all, if it's okay for one group, why not another?
well fish face there is a hell of a difference between a craft fair and free speech and the right to assemble. but than your thought process always boils down to the bottom line
or dollars and senseless!
