“A "Freedom Walk" on Sunday in honor of the military,”
It is actually a memorial walk starting at the pentagon crash site for the folks that died in the attack on the pentagon (including the passengers of flight 77) four years ago today. And while I agree with you all that public property is open to public speech I just want you to picture how you would feel memorializing your dead family, friends, or colleagues while the Paul in LA’s of the world are right there, beat faced, insulting you and the memory of your loved ones. By the way, private (exclusive) use of public property has been around my entire life. Go protests a family reunion at a reserved park shelter or national park campsite; see how it works out for you. Excluding folks from public spaces is wrong period, not just when you don’t like the folks who benefit from the exclusion.
