EXTRAVAGENT DEMANDS: EXPECTING POLICE TO HAVE TO DO THEIR JOBS!!!

Gay pride has hit the streets of Tel Aviv. Of course, as usual, not everybody is happy about this:

While thousands were celebrating Gay Pride, Shas Chairman Eli Yishai published an announcement calling the event "a disgrace." He said that, at such a violent time, these parades do nothing but "provoke the public."

"When there is a murder almost every day, a group of people come and steal hours of municipal police work hours, for an event that is mostly a disgrace for humanity." Shas officials said a few hours before the Sabbath that the party would instruct its representatives in Tel Aviv's city council to see whether the parade involves desecration of the Sabbath by an official body, like the municipality.

Oh no! God forbid that the police actually spend time protecting people! It is simply awful to expect police to have to provide security!

It is a triumph for liberty when people can parade for whatever issue without fear, thanks to adequate security, whether the vast majority like that they do it or not! Its not just gay marches - I would say the same thing if the KKK were secure in their ability to march down the streets of Harlem.
