All parades should be banned for life. Especially those in which some scrolls with 4 legs on a leash. Find our dignity and our values.

It was necessary to rename the musicblack-lives-matter of parade, and it was won, under the blow of emotion that would have been allowed! 😉
I understand that this is not allowed for reason of health, but we recognize that there are two weights, two measures.
