Veterans group slams NYC decision to deny permit for Memorial Day march while allowing Cannabis Parade
Fox News
James Haynes III, CEO of United Staten Island Veterans Organization Inc., and his attorney Brendan Lantry pointed to a “sickening” double standard on “Fox & Friends” on Monday, threatening legal action if the veteran march is not allowed to take place in New York City, while last week’s Cannabis Parade got the green light.
Veterans were set to be given special honors in Staten Island’s 102nd annual Memorial Day Parade this year to mark the Gulf War’s 30th anniversary, until the city decided to deny permits for the parade, The New York Post reported. Haynes told host Brian Kilmeade on Monday that he was shocked that the city did not grant permits for the Memorial Day Parade, but allowed the Cannabis Parade to carry on. Following the same procedure they use every year in keeping with the city’s official rules, The United Staten Island Veterans Organization, which is the association of 16 local veteran groups that has sponsored the annual march for decades, filed a request for a parade permit with the New York City Police Department in February, The Post reported. About one week later, the department reportedly denied the request, citing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's emergency executive order restricting public events due to the coronavirus pandemic.
