Are you serious? You have to get permits to protest now? I'm not a fan of highway protestors and I'm surprised more don't get hit when they do due to the risk of speed and not seeing them. BUT.., these folks are not burning down buildings in this video, they aren't illegally crowding roadways, and there are cops right there.
Everybody has a legal right to protest in this country and just because you are high on supreme court victories and and have a staunch anti abortion view doesn't mean you are awake.
This is a fight for liberty, not a fight for more licensing requirements and government control. And pedestrians have the right away on crosswalks.
The people were not on the sidewalks for majority of beginning of protest; they were standing and sitting in the roads and then began to march down them.
Our downtown roads are EXTREMELY narrow, with barely enough room for the two lanes of traffic that flow through our main downtown street. There is NO way to go around vehicles and people safely down there as it is.
What's your deal? This is MY fucking city and I am sick of these people (it's always the same groups) violating the law and getting away with it!
They expect to be able to exercise THEIR right to assemble and peacefully protest yet when it was those here that were protesting AGAINST vax mandates, having MAGA parades, etc, they banned together and started targeting people who were LEGALLY and peacefully protesting.
I hear you and it sounds like I'm right about city council not giving a fuck about your plight whole they probably encourage the other side.
But as for permits, noon violence... You think the founding fathers waited around to get permission? These are the plights we deal with but we're still going to be the ones winning in the end
You would have to live here to understand how quickly our city is actually turning blue and that a LOT of people are moving here to help spread liberalism much further out of Sioux Falls, Brookings, and Vermillion. Our mayor, who claims to be a conservative, is a massive proponent of smart cities and wants to turn Sioux Falls into one, but avoids attending pride rallies. Pretty sure people on both sides of the aisle dont like him, but he is obviously backed by big money. Wonder how much China gave him when he was there in Nov 2019.
Tongue in cheek a little bit I'm not being sarcastic, these people will lose but we also can't win being so secular and wanting to cancel those who disagree.
Keep in mind I'm not defending abortion, that's not what I am about. But you aren't making any peace with misrepresentations. If these people were burning down the intersection would be one thing but marching is fair game, whether or not you and I agree with the message.
Blocking streets is NOT fair game. And you should watch all of the videos on Tea Storm Chasers fb page; not exactly a quiet, peaceful march as they claim. The one citizen, crazy guy but at least he went out there by himself, that did protest against them was surrounded by them immediately and they made it so HE couldnt peacefully has his RIGHTS to counter protest. The police actually removed HIM for "his safety". WTF does that tell you?
Touche on other parts getting unruly, I take your word for it, that video didn't seem too bad though is why I was griefing.
There was a guy in my city who is getting heat for running over "peaceful protesters" after roe decision and the video the news plays shows his truck being mobbed and he is just getting away from them but totally spin like he's a villain.
That is FUCKED up about the counter protester though, almost need to post up and make things uncomfortable for the police until they start doing their job.
Fuckers. As you and I already discussed I am a SD resident too. This will be a repeat of 2020's BLM protest. Headed towards the mall to loot. Fortunately the cops seem to be learning and are doing more to stop them this time.
They shouldnt have let it continue as long as it did honestly. Not sure WHY the people who live downtown put up with the noise as it isnt cheap to live there. It is ALWAYS something going on there lately. This is the fourth protest so far and the groups are growing larger and larger and more are already scheduled.

The permits are to block off the roads, plan for traffic flow, and police presence. Think the permit is if it is 100+ people https://www.siouxfalls.org/specialeventpermits

I'll take your word for it I'm sure your right. Are you out there, are we? To be seen and heard?
More importantly when it's time for that to happen are you getting a permit or looking for crosswalk paint?
The constitution goes both ways and even though we are fighting for us we are actually fighting for them too.
Let me know what city council says when you complain because I'm sure they are too busy not giving a fuck.

I agree 100%, downtown Sioux Falls can't function with blocked streets. You need to plan for that shit.
Keep an eye on this page.. https://www.facebook.com/SouthDakotaProgressiveParty
Another protest is planned for the 1st, I know another group is planning one for the 7th, too, as well as one for the 11th for this SDPP group.
Fuckers
