Mayor de Blasio is refusing to allow a group of military veterans to march on Staten Island on Memorial Day — after welcoming public pot smokers to puff their way down Broadway in last week’s Cannabis Parade.“It’s a slap in the face,” Jamie Gonzalez, 57, a Marine infantryman who saw combat in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm, told The Post.Gulf War vets like Gonzalez were set to be given special honors in Staten Island’s 102nd annual Memorial Day Parade this year to mark the 1991 conflict’s 30th anniversary — until the city pulled the plug.
Had enough yet??? Complaining has gotten you nowhere and I'm sick of listening to you whine all the time about how you're "mistreated"... DO something besides whine!!!

They should try rioting and burn the place down; then, they might get some respect from little king blasé blasé.

Hold your own parade and invite friends and family to participate. Tell the city fathers to drop dead.

As much contempt that I have for Wilhelm, I never thought it could get any lower. Apparently I was wrong, mayor wilhelm just reached a new low in my eyes and in the eyes of many more. What a lowlife.

How about a little non-violent civil disobedience?
The rioters can burn things down without much made of it.
Innocent, non-violent civil disobedience needs to make a come back--
It's a peaceful to say NO
This business of tyrannical government persons picking the winners and losers based on politics is very unAmerican, and an obviously petty and spiteful condemnation upon themselves

Do it anyway! Antifa and BLM never bother to get permission to hold their “peaceful protests”.

If I recall correctly the Klan had permits to march in Charlottesville and all was lawful and peaceful until antifa showed up. Like Trump actually said the white supremacists should be condemned as should antifa but that ain't the way of today's leftist media.

Two men should be indicted for the death of New York City; de Blasio and Cuomo. The electric chair is a bit iffy and much too good for them; lethal injection is a sure thing. Oh. I forgot. There is no US Supreme Court any more.

Get as many marchers as you can and have it anyway. How many can get arrested at a single time anyway?. It take bravery to resist a tyrannical government.
OR, wear blackface and a mask.

Democrats are consistent. No permit for the annual Mayday motorcycle tribute to MIAs and POWs; no permit for the annual Fourth of July fireworks at Mount Rushmore . .

Do like BLM and every mother's leftist group does - organize and take to the streets. Let's see the cops respond to stop it. Imagine the visuals of cops taking down 90+ year old vets with a knee across their necks. maybe they can unleash rubber bullets and a water cannon or two. Of course, someone could get hurt, and it might go on someone's permanent record.

Of course. They LOVE dope heads, and they HATE veterans.

At some point provocation becomes just a habit rather than a strategy. When patriots are sure the line has been crossed by the Leftist leadership in NYC they must act forcefully, decisively and without mercy.

This is indeed a slap in the face.
