ISIS takes credit for the attack.
That's like the French taking credit for Waterloo!

Rethink = Cave In to the their non-American demands for what they might do?

Oh yeah, cave in while the radicals chortle at our weak kneed response to their evil.

Appeasement doesn't work...

Their latest attempt at squelching free speech got two of them smoked!

As to the Garland PD presser (I'm unfamiliar with the word "presser, I guess it's the same as a PR type/spokesman) stating they may rethink allowing these kinds of events. (I'd love to read a definition of "these kind of events"

As I don't know Garland city ordinances, I guess they have that power, but they may also simply assume it if no one complains.

Anyone know if they can legally disallow "these kinds of events"?
Abraham, for the record, I agree with you. I was just the messenger.

Can they legally disallow certain kinds of events? Sure they can. It's not the cops who will disallow it, it will be the owner of the venue, acting on suggestions from the police and other authorities, who will disallow it. They can pretty much decide to refuse any more rentals for events that have anything to do for or against any religious or spiritual matters, for any purpose whatsoever. As long as they exclude all religions including atheism equally, I don't see that the Constitution OR the law would prevent it.
A spokesman for GISD (owners of the venue) was interviewed yesterday and said because it was built with bond monies, local, state and federal, that they could not pick and choose who they rent to or not. But, he also said they are going to meet with the attorney to see if they could find a "loophole" for in the future. My biggest issue is the center in posted 30.06, but that is a whole other rabbit hole I'm not going down. :coolgleamA:
A good and honest attorney will tell them that content-based restrictions on speech violate the First Amendment and they cannot prevent renting to the group again.
