If it had been Black Lives Matter it would've been approved in a heartbeat. Is this the old Pomona Progress Bulletin? I was a paperboy for them many moons ago.

Is this (the city planning to deny the permit) because they do not think they can provide enough security to prevent the violent “counter-protesters” from crashing the rally?

I’m thinking that if the security is massive for the rallies, the “counter-protesters” will not be able to cause mayhem in the way that they want.

I guess I need to see if I can cause this ahole some grief.

I like the name Inland. It would be a great name for one of the three or four states When California is broken up

Is this the old Pomona Progress Bulletin? Yes, IIRC the Bulletin bought out the Daily Report in Ontario and merged. They now operate out of the Ontario facility.

No it wouldn’t. Upland is in deep financial doo doo. The city doesn’t have the resources to handle anything much less an assault by say BLM, or Antifa, whatever.

The guy who said no to any permit is recently appointed interim City Manager. He’s going to try to straighten out the mess the city is in until they get a new City Manager.

Upland just can’t afford to take the chance to issue a permit for any such assembly no matter the intent as they don’t have the financial resources should something go awry.
