Regardless of your politics. No one should support this resolution. The City should repeal the resolution immediately to avoid legal action.
Whatever resolution they make, no local law can override the right to free speech and the right to peaceable assembly as stated in the 1st amendment of the Bill of Rights. To require a person or a group to get a permit to exercise their constitutional rights is unlawful. The City of BP has made a big mistake.
For reference:
US Bill of Rights, Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
This is not a left vs right issue. This is a free speech issue. Free speech is a basic human right. Both sides should see this. This new law hurts everyone. “I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”
