Now We’re Talking, NY Vets Vow To Sue Dems- Here’s Why

New York is once again showing its bias when it comes to who can take to their streets. Veterans have asked for a parade permit so that they can celebrate Memorial Day and the NYPD denied them. I guess they are going to have to call their parade, a peaceful protest, in order to honor veterans…

This year’s Memorial Day parade would be the 102nd running of the distinguished procession to celebrate American service members. This year’s parade was specifically going to honor Gulf War veterans since it is the conflict’s 30th anniversary.

The United Staten Island Veterans’ Organization, an association of 16 local veterans’ groups that have sponsored the annual event for decades, filed a request for a parade permit with the New York Police Department on Feb. 27, according to Staten Island Live. The vets’ group estimated that approximately 1,000 participants would “march down Forest Avenue from Hart Boulevard to Greenleaf Avenue, an 18-block stretch of the leafy commercial street in West Brighton,” the New York Post reported. However, the NYPD denied their request to hold the parade.

The Memorial Day parade was denied because of Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s executive order signed last year restricting public events due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The United Staten Island Veterans’ Organization points out that Black Lives Matter protests, which have at times escalated into violent riots, have been allowed since May 28, 2020, in reaction to the death of George Floyd.”

They didn’t allow the parade last year due to the pandemic but allowed BLM to “peacefully” protest all of last year. They even painted a mural in support of BLM on the street in front of Trump Tower. If that were not enough they also allowed a Cannabis Parade. But veterans were not given one single day. It looks like Liberals are showing just how little they care about Veterans in New York.
