According to a post on the township Facebook page Friday afternoon, Palmer denied a request to hold the event at Fairview Park because it will draw more than 250 people, violating Gov. Tom Wolf’s cap on gatherings. The township also says it is unable to “allocate public resources to monitor and ensure compliance with the current public health safety mandates for the proposed event.”
The denial is “in the interests of public health safety,” the post states.
Mark and Patricia McCloskey of St. Louis were set to “do a rally event to wake up suburban voters about the Second Amendment, individual rights and defending your life and property,” Northampton County Republican Committee Chairperson Gloria Lee Snover said Wednesday. |

It would probably be allowed if it were a Biden rally.
Assuming that a Biden rally could even draw 250 people. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
