So you don't want these people to be in one place, because of the health risks. Got it.

I see -- it has nothing to do with public health. You want these people to be "aggregated" in one place, rather than "having them spread out around town," but you want it to be somewhere that other people don't want to go.

I don't look down on the protestors, but I think they are dangerous. They are also killing local industry downtown. This isn't about free speech.

Yes, it's not about anyone's health -- it's the effects on "local industry."
