Tbh if we just wanted to go to any big park we would choose a more central location and pick a better one not in cville. The entire point is the statue.
the city fucked up bad legally by not doing this last minute
they could have fucked us bad doing this friday or thursday before
^^^
this gives us like
They didn't learn their lesson from Auburn apparently
over a week to rape them into the ground in court
The point was a lot about the bs going on in the city after may
A packed park is better than a spaced out crowd of the same size at a bigger park
One where the thousands of opposition can literally surround you in small quarters?
@Nick Anderson - IL why?
The larger Park is just asking for us to be ambushed
the fucking event isnt about safety its about the civil war statues
its the police's job to keep us safe
Police even said it will actually allow them to stage properly
and protect our pemitted first amendment rights
they have NO right to move the permit
at all
they will get raped
severely
Legally they do
I have trouble believing Police in this situation
no they legally dont
It capacity isn't enough
There is no point in a rally, safe or no, if it is tucked away in an irrelevant and ideologically meaningless corner
The permit says 400
4000 people showed up to the fucking KKK rally
No they didn't
Lee park will hold 1200 easy.
I watched the streams. it was shoulder to shoulder
There is legal grounds to move a rally if the city honestly feels they can not protect your safety. The city is now on the hook to kiss our ass to avoid having to defend their decision to move the rally in court.
It is out of the way...
It was 1400 as an overzealous guess
No where near 4000 for the KKK
I watched videos from July 8th and I beliebe that the protesters were only about 500.
1000 was the more accurate estimate
Media claims of 1,000 and 1,400 are typical eggerations
Kkk rally was in Jackson park, tho
The optics are simply better at Lee Park with overflow and shoulder to shoulder solidarity. A loosely dispersed crowd looks like a state fair, not a political rally.
Even the Portland thing that just happened looked random and sparse.
It was packed but it's a very small area
