Activists ticketed for putting Snowden bust on NYC monument

[JDPriestly]

45. I'm not putting up any statues, but I am telling you that some people may disagree with the

act of putting up the statue and some others, like me, might think it is great.

Putting up a statue is an act of free expression, an act of free speech. The city is entitled to take it down if they believe that the majority of citizens doesn't want it up, but they have to acknowledge that some will disagree, perhaps a minority, but the rights of the minority are also to be respected. Minorities become majorities. That's how democracy works.

I am pointing out that we are entitled to our opinions on this statue. I am pointing out that I like it and that I am sure that some others agree with me. The surveillance state and the general warrants are in my opinion, a violation of our human rights. Many agree with me.
