| Promoting Pot in a Park or Limits of Free Speech |

In March of 1997 the city of Chicago denied the late Robert MacDonald's application for a permit to hold a rally in Grant Park. His purpose was to promote the legalization of marijuana. Now his successors on the "Windy City Hemp Development Board" have persuaded the Supreme Court to look at the city's ordinance, and to ponder once more the limits that may be imposed upon free speech. The case provides a classic example of the eternal conflict between individual freedom and public order. Snipped Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help |

| So basically, an "anonymous person" can cause "damage" to ANY part of the park, and the person(s) holding the rally are held responsible. In any event, I'm sure that if Bushy Wushy were to hold a republican forum on these grounds, and one of their own spewed up intoxicating bile on park grounds, thereby causing "damage", they would certainly and merely be given a "warning". fairness? 2+2=5, ladies and gentlemen. sly in green, foxy in kind [ Post Comment ] |
