2. Free speech is for corporations, silly liberal. n/t

[Bowwowwow09]

3. It's private property, what they did wasn't right, but it doesnt violate the first amendment

4. It's not private property..a deal was made to the city..the city

has it in exchange for a corp. bigger building. The status of the property has been covered many times before. The park is a PUBLIC park open 24/7 is the deal.

[Bowwowwow09]

8. It's still owned privately, meaning the owners can change the rules

I'm not saying what the did was right, I'm just saying that it doesn't violate the constitution.

[shraby]

9. Owners CAN'T change the rules without appealing to

city hall and having meetings and resolutions in order to change the rules on the property. They traded their rights for some privileges. Not easy to reverse.

11. Sounds like you are saying what they did was right. We are choosing sides. Which side are you one?nm

[rhett o rick]

5. So you think that private property trumps the First Amendment?

I dont think the First Amendment only applies in public property. And besides, the property was private on the condition it be kept open to the public.

The revolution has started.

7. If you come onto my front yard, I can have you arrested

Freedom of assembly does not work on private land. If you tried to walk into a Wal-Mart and stage a protest, you would be kicked out or arrested.

Zuccoti Park is a privately owned public space, which gives the owners the right to create rules and guidelines for the property such as prohibiting tents (like they did).

This is no way violates the first amendment.

10. So you speak for the 1%. You are the reason we have people in the streets. nm

[Bowwowwow09]

14. Ummm....what?

What the heck is that supposed to mean? Did you read the thread before you posted?

[rhett o rick]

17. Sorry, but I get frustrated with you that stick up for the 1%. nm

[librechik]

13. your ownership of that property is conditional. The govt can seize it at any time.

As George Bush Jr did to build a stadium while he was governor. Freedom of Assembly works everywhere WE allow it to work. Zucotti Park opened its doors to the Occupiers and the public. The government shut them down, and not fairly.

[Angry Dragon]

16. Y ou really should check your facts

The owners had to get a variance to build their building
part of that deal is that they had to build a park and maintain it
for public use 24/7.
So if it not a public park then the building will have to be torn down
so it is a public park

Go and google and prove me wrong

6. Welcome to DU..

12. He wont last long. nm

[Fire Walk With Me]

15. Liberty Park didn't last as long as Kim Kardashian's "wedding"! We have to do better!

[Amonester]

18. We have embraced the chance to show that America values the dignity of the street vendor in Tunisia

more than the raw power of the dictator ... ?






(Who said that again?)

[L0oniX]

19. MUHAHAHAHAH ...all your constitution are belong us.

Are we owned yet?
