I, Ashley Towne, am quoted incorrectly in this article by Danny Kohl. I should have wrote this earlier but oh well. I am disappointed by the misuse of some of the statements that I made to Danny before he wrote this article. I never said that we (FNB) were “unable to show we are exempt”. I always believed that we (FNB) were exempt from getting a permit because of our 1st Amendment rights and from information in city codes (that needed clarifying for both parties) that we printed out. Also, I only pointed out the statement that the officer said about the Birthday banner because I was explaining to Danny how inconsistent the cops were because one of the cops said that the content did not matter on the banner and the other officer said that it did matter. When I first emailed this article to FNB I did not get a chance to completely read this article and I feel that the depth of Food not Bombs’ message and mission sadly gets lost in this article. For more info on FNB please go to foodnotbombs.net. Thank you.
