Here we go again with a tea party supposedly being “shut down” by the city of Burleson, Texas:

Except that … uh …

City of Burleson is not shutting down Burleson Tea Party.

The committee expressed its safety concerns to representatives of the Tea Party group. Principally, the City’s concerns are public safety vehicle access to the adjacent residential neighborhood and the impact on safe traffic movement on State Highway 174 which runs adjacent to the area where the Tea Party is requested to take place.

The City did not attempt to stop the event or prevent the event from being held in the city.

Today, the City has placed calls to representatives of the Tea Party in hopes of resolving the City’s concerns and identifying a location for the Tea Party to occur. As of the time this press release is being issued, the City has not yet received a return call from the Tea Party group.

This is the second case in which tea party organizers claimed victimhood and suppression by the evil establishment, when these city governments were simply trying to be responsible.
