With the heat and humidity here, that pelt would get wet and nasty pretty quick. It would make the recycling bin look pretty wild also.
The Free Speech Zone is a classic used by both parties. You can always recognize a "free speech zone" by the concrete barriers and chain link fencing.
The USA has a bad habit of arresting anyone with the skills and curiosity to perform such tasks.
...and refusing the skilled and desperately needed service of anyone who "likes show tunes".
