So the Milwaukee River Splash festival is next weekend.
Last year I guess there was some shenanigans, bottles thrown, a shot fired. So what do the dumb asses do when a few bad apples spoil the sauce? They turn it into a police state.
So I guess this year (saw on the news tonight) they will fence of a NUMBER of downtown streets and WAND people coming into the 'festival'.
But the festival is on public streets??? So lets see, if I live in a condo within the "fenced in area" I am being deprived of my right to carry a gun into my neighborhood?
Is this legal? I'm thinking it might be REALLY fun to take my boat up the river (which would bypass all the stupid checkpoint charlies in downtown Peoples Republic of Milwaukee) stop inside the "no freedom zone" get out of the boat, uncase, load and open carry! (only thing that will suck is then I can't drink at riverspash... kinda defeats the purpose of going)
But in all seriousness. WTF? Just fence of public streets and public right of ways and WAND everyone coming in? This is America no???
