My main issue with the (two?) group(s) here is the separate camps, namely the group that has decided Olympic Plaza is where they need to be and their willing to work "with any other groups who have booked the space".
I get the right to assembly and protest, and I can live with the shanty town on St. Patrick's Island because at least their trying to play within the rules and not create an additional burden (they got the permits, they don't appear to be holding up any scheduled maintenance or withholding the space from other events).
But the group at Olympic Plaza is simply doubling the cost to tax payers (two camps to monitor/keep sanitary instead of one) while intruding on the rights of others whom have booked the space & holding up maintenance to the plaza.
"We're prepared to work with any other events in the plaza and won't interfere" No, **** you, it's not your place to work with other groups, get the eff out and let those who have PAID for a permit use that space.
