I was there and the people preaching were screaming to be heard. They were bothering people and venders on that corner. They were asked to move to a differewnt location but refuded to do so. After several time of being asked to move to a different location and refusing they were arrested. The local athourtiory treated them nicley...

what would happen if you own a business inside the event. Would they then have a right to ask you to leave? NO .. Use this as a example next time they confront you. God Bless

The permit allows an interested party to segregate a parcel of public land for a restricted commercial or organizational use. It gives them certain exclusivity rights to that property and they are within their right to ask other uninvited vendors/attractions to leave at their discretion.

[96Delta]

Another way to look at it is like this. Suppose these gentlemen decided to roll a hot dog cart into the event without being invited or obtaining the permit holders permission. People would readily accept that such conduct is not permitted. I emphasize the word "permitted" because that's the issue here. The permit allows, or "permits", certain activities during the aforementioned period and area at the exclusion of other activities like, in this case, vehicular traffic, among others.

[96Delta]

In this case people get emotional because of a flawed understanding of the First Amendment issue and that's applaudable as its a fundamental right. But that right isn't being infringed upon, only the venue where it can be expressed, something that the courts have recognized as proper and permissible with respect to this particular scenario.

Which God?

[itsbcuzirock]

@WorldWar4 Btw, Christians don`t need a chance from you, on the contrary you need a chance from God.

[WorldWar4]

It's because of people like you that I don't even give Christians a chance. No humility, no respect, trouble makers, rabble rousers, and just plain jerks. Your God must be proud.
