The many groups that have gathered on New York’s noisy streets to engage in peaceful protest have long had a champion in Bill de Blasio, but now that the progressive is running City Hall, the honeymoon may be over.
Last week, aides to the mayor created a “free speech zone” so that a very small group of protesters wouldn’t mar a photo-op reopening a Queens boardwalk destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, DNAInfo reported. The move prompted a letter of protest from a group representing New York journalists and led one prominent civil liberties attorney to accuse de Blasio of hypocrisy.
