for protests to prevent them from protesting?

In preparation for planned protests in New York City on October 15, 2011, the DHS documents show coordination between federal and local authorities to use New York City’s permitting scheme to frustrate, obstruct or stop free speech activities.

How clever of them. Then how about the people simply exercise their Constitutional rights and not bother with the 'permit' thing.

Just show up and protest. We have the right to do so. Let them take their permits and shove them.

Who hates us 'for our freedoms' again??
