<snip> The improvising by city officials ended the most violent outburst, but the pastor and his dozen or so co-protesters generally received a less-than-warm reception as they brought up the rear of the annual march down Market Street.
Federal courts ruled Grove’s group could not be barred from marching with bloody, graphic pictures of aborted fetuses. Grove said it was his constitutional right to show what he said was the true face of abortion and hand out pamphlets to that effect along the parade route.
But the pastor was angry he was at the back of the parade, again. It’s the second year in a row his float has been at the end of the parade. <snip>
