NEWS FLASH! Permits are required for demonstrations in the streets. Note the following from the Florida ACLU:
Do I need a permit before I engage in free speech activity?
Not usually. However, certain types of events require permits. Generally, these events are:
A march or parade that does not stay on the sidewalk, and other events that require blocking traffic or street closure
A large rally requiring the use of sound amplifying devices; or
A rally at certain designated parks or plazas
ALSO: Sumpter County has a NOISE ORDINANCE which the blowing of numerous horns, ridiculous shouting, and use of bullhorns is AGAINST THE LAW. Sumpter County sheriff deputies are not duing their duty to enforce this. I don't care which political party is doing this, its rude.
I go to the square to have a relaxing snack and cocktail and not to have to witness a bunch of idiots who need to get a life.
