Bloomberg: "The Constitution doesn’t protect tents"
Bloomberg Says ‘Tent City’ Goes Beyond Free Speech
Excerpt:
“The Constitution doesn’t protect tents,” he said at a news conference in Queens. “It protects speech and assembly.”
The mayor expressed concern that those exercising a “right to be silent” might be getting drowned out amid the din of the protests.
“We can’t have a place where only one point of view is allowed,” he said. “There are places where I think it’s appropriate to express yourself, and there are other places that are appropriate to set up Tent City. They don’t necessarily have to be one and the same.”
