[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;33538344]You're right. They cannot, under any condition tell you NO to a protest. That's why Neo Nazi's, The KKK and the Westboro Baptist Church hold protests constantly and don't have the police crackdown on them. Because they go through the proper channel. All you have to do is call your town or city office and say "How can I arrange a protest?" it's usually as simple as filling out a 'permit' which is just a sheet of paper of information so they know what is going on. "We're having a protest ABOUT THIS on THIS DATE to THIS DATE with THIS MANY PEOPLE at THIS LOCATION" The reason they want you to tell them in advance is so they can arrange for it. If the protestors are Neo Nazi's for example they'll send the Police to keep people from out right throwing bricks at them. If they plan to protest in the city they make arrangements to redirect traffic and close sidewalks and so on. [editline]2nd December 2011[/editline] Here is a video of a Black Panther's rally protesting against Police oppression of the Black Community. Notice how aggressive the speaker is, what he is saying and what his 'body guards' are wearing. Imagine how many people disagree with his message, especially the Police protecting the protest in the back round. The reason they can say these things, wear these things, and act this way unmolested is because they got a permit. Black Panthers can do it, but a bunch of smart college students and unemployed degree holders can't manage it.

[QUOTE=sonny99;33544507]Mixed feelings. I'm glad that they know their rights and are exercising them, but it's not like they're going to be listened to by anyone other than themselves[/QUOTE] no one but themselves? [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1144522[/url]
[QUOTE=darkrei9n;33544652]And if they deny you the permit?[/QUOTE] They very, very seldom reject a protest. I can't think of a specific instance. Usually instead of denying you out right they try to reason with you. "What about this date?" "Can you move it here?" "Can you not stay past 9PM?" and so on. This is usually what they'll do rather than say no. The only reason they would deny you one out right is if it's something that would endanger the public or violates the law, or someone else's rights.
