I don't want to see the govt stopping the right to assemble (we'll be next), but I loathe those who wave that banner, especially here in the north. The article cites a security problem and that they can't afford to protect the attendees or counter protestors alike. The chance that it will be a super spreader event may be a better reason.

I'm not sure how I feel about this at first glance.
