Freedom Of Assembly

Those people gearing up to disrupt the conference next week put on by the European American Unity organization may be in for a bit of a surprise. Looks like they have bitten off more than they can chew. Especially if they think their intimidation tactics are going to work. These aren't some teenage kids with a Ford Ranger advertising some weekend gathering on a Myspace page. Just hanging out at a motel party room drinking kegs of beer and listening to punk rock music. This is obviously a well organized group with money, meeting at a large conference and meeting facility. That has an agenda and the means to carry it out.

This really boils down to the right to assemble. As long as they don't cause harm to others. It doesn't matter that David Duke is their leader. They are free to meet all they want. Long as they don't burn any crosses or hang anyone. I don't think they plan to march down the streets of Olive Branch with white sheets over their heads either. They are meeting to address these very same type situations. In an area where it is obviously still a problem. Here blacks are trying to deny them the right of a peaceful assembly, not looking at the flip side of that. What happens when they start to deny access to public places because they represent blacks? Like NAN and the NOI for instance. They both have ties to violence in the past. Let's be objective. The constitution gives everyone the right of freedom of assembly.
