8 feet off the side of the highway would belong to the state as well.
He just contradicted himself and whatever nonexistent law/policy he’s enforcing.

There’s already specific laws that govern conduct on state property and she cannot make up her own. Her job is to make sure the toilets are clean and the pamphlet shelves are stocked not to violate people’s basic human rights.

"It's their property, they can do what they want" - WRONG! It's OUR property!

[joshuac]

"You need to ask the government permission(permit) to exercise your constitutional rights on public property!"
Absolutely disgraceful.

[marksummers]

“It’s their property.” Really ? That’s the root of this issue. Once a government employee, whether local, state or federal, they honestly believe that their personal beliefs become law. They’re clueless about their actual role in government. It’s outrageous and deeply sad that this honorary power taints their job.

I guess blessing homeless vets makes the manager “uncomfortable” and she assumes it makes everyone else uncomfortable too. What has our country become?

[brettmasonmedia]

I continue to be astounded the number of LEO’s that have no idea what public property is.

[UpstateNYAudits]

Do these officers realize when he admitted he knew it was freedom of speech and religion he essentially gave up his qualified immunity? 😂

[dwm]

Sir, I would like to thank you for your bravery, sacrifices, and your service. I am a homeless veteran, I lost my leg from military service. I really can’t thank you enough for standing up for every single citizen.

[noahhenkle]

Even if he was asking for money, the Supreme Court has ruled that doing so is protected by the Constitution! These cops are so ignorant!

[jgallantyt]

You can just see him laying out the breadcrumbs for the law suit. As soon as they gobble them up he's gone. "Stop holding that sign or you'll be arrested." Ok, that's all I needed, thank you, good luck with the impending law suit.

[Alarm-xhjj]

The police have it easy sometimes. They can just make up whatever bullshit they want. The actual laws have little matter. Good image Georgia.

[timtam]

“Please leave the property”
“Why”
“Because I want you to leave”
“But why”
“Because you’re black”
“You want me to leave because I’m black?”
“Yes, it’s our property and we can do what we want”
You now see why what they said is unlawful
and ridiculous

[willieparker]

Mad props to the dude trying to give him a hand, checking to make sure he’s ok. Still good folks out there.

[thefireysoul]

The mental gymnastics these pigs go through to try to justify violating our rights is astounding. Thank you for everything you do.

[NewsNowVictoria]

Only Government Karens can be responsible for a "Welcome and Information Center" to fail an audit. God bless Jeff Gray. Cheers from Canada!!!

[grumpygnome]

Pignorance is a sad result of qualified immunity.

[petemorin]

Sad to see these cops enforcing someone’s feelings. They’re pusillanimous attitude toward the freedom we have under the Constitution is mind boggling. This is a clear indication of our continued march to a police state. Keep up the good effort, Jeff.

[schrodingerscat]

Hearing ignorance spewed with such confidence is nauseating…

“It’s run and owned by the state, which technically means it’s private property.”
