So, Antifa and Black Lives Matter won’t be allowed to protest in Portsmouth?

The problem isn't allowing "racist" speech, but in law enforcement not separating protesters from counter-protesters, no matter what the issue. Police should arrest anyone who crosses a line of separation to perpetrate violence.
"Racist" is a subjective term, applied to ALL conservatives by the left, and cannot be used as a basis for denying freedom of speech or freedom of assembly.

The pride of Portsmouth. DIY Constitutional Scholars
Portsmouth, was once a beautiful, charming city in Hampton Roads. It has been transformed by ferals into an urban Russian roulette wheel. Today there are maybe 4 or 5 square blocks where it is "somewhat" safe to walk, at least before sundown. It's the same old story as hundreds of once beautiful towns and cities.

There is a riot-prone hate group that rallies and protests and burns a lot.
What is it called?
BLT?

Still no “Noble Cause” clause in the Constitution - but they want to decide what constitutes “hate” so their BLM/Anti-Fa folks have free rein to rain down physical hatred anyway, so what the heck.....
