Police now able to declare protests illegal

Bad marketing.

There are more spectactors and by-standers than rioters.

If you want to sell the rioters somethnig, sell them sour cream to help with the pepper spray and CS.

The profit margins on the tools of destruction are quite high.... Those ill-prepared folks that either forgot their supplies or didn't pack enough will pay a super premium.

Mind you, I do like the sour cream opportunity.. Kind of a closed market when someone is already in the poop..... My question, can they open their eyes to dig into their wallets to pay?

Observe the business plan...

It's almost free for a lump of ice, $250 for biz license, $60 for a good wood plane, $30 for a cooler, $12ea for 4L of flavourings, $20 for 1000 cups and spoons.

$60
$30
$36($12X3)orange,cherry,lime
$250
$376

1000 SnoCones @ $3ea = $3000

$3000
-$376
$2674

"Person of different standards."

More like "person of conflicting standards".

One standard for me. A different standard for everybody else. Where's the conflict?

:shock:

Anyway, I see no harm in police wanting assurance that a protest will be peaceful, relatively un-chaotic, and safe for un-protestors.

And safe for protestors as well. The troublemakers are not the only ones out there usually.

That suggests that there needs to be some formal organization in place, possibly one that will be capable of assuming full responsibility for events if it devolves into a riot.

You mean like filing an itinerary?

What about their right to associate freely?
To engage in protest?

It really just reads like you want to be the one making the rules, and have the cops enforce them as *you* tell them to. But the city also wants to make the rules, and have the cops enforce them. Whose rights trump whose?

Bingo.
