A whole bunch of far left groups are planning to ‘protest’ (disrupt) the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas on September 10th. Based on recent history, everyone knows that this means. The term ‘fiery but mostly peaceful’ rings a bell.
Unfortunately for these groups, the city has revoked their permits. That doesn’t mean much to the left. They’ll probably show up anyway, but without permits, we imagine that the police will have cause to remove them.
The planned protest was supposed to be just one hour long. Does anyone believe these groups would stick to that schedule? Not a chance.
Townhall reports:
Officials from the city of Dallas have canceled planned protest permits for the upcoming Republican Midterm Convention after requests from the Dallas Police Department, according to a local outlet.
The one-hour long protest planned for September 10 had its special permitting revoked. Dallas Police claim that the recommendation for revocation came because they would have preferred to work directly with protest organizers “for a quicker process.”
Event organizers claim that Dallas Police have repeatedly set meetings with organizers only to cancel moments before the meeting or to not show up altogether. Some organizers with the Dallas Against the Trump Agenda Coalition, the protest organizers, claim that the failure to communicate amounts to obstruction.
“They did try to get us in meetings with DPD, and constantly DPD didn’t show up,” Xavi Velasquez said. “DPD didn’t show up, and then whenever DPD reached out to us directly and set up a meeting, they canceled it right before the meeting. So, keeping that in mind, and with DPD running us off of City Hall property, we just have little faith in them respecting our rights.”
The keynote speakers for the convention have just been announced.
