Maybe this is news to you guys, but it isn't news to me. Government can, in times of emergency, places certain restriction on the populace if it its deemed appropriate to prevent harm to the general public. The Governor of VA declared a state of emergency, and has indicated that there is intel that indicates that violence may occur on the planned date. YA'LL might not like it, you might not even believe it, but he has that right.
He has no rights other than those you and I enjoy.
He may have some authority, however he is not using it properly.
I would like to hear from BBI, VDPU, Denny ans Frank on this.
