protests, demonstrations, counter-protests, counter-demonstrations and displays of signs by various individuals
and groups that have, at times, turned violent and have resulted in injuries to persons and destruction of

WHEREAS, Recognizing the rights of individuals and groups of individuals to express opinions and
exercise their rights of free speech, for the purpose of maintaining order, minimizing disruption to the memorial
service for Cpl. Newman and other events occurring at the Fairgrounds, to maintain peace, to protect property,
and to protect the health, safety and welfare of all persons at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds any and all
protests, demonstrations, counter-protests, counter-demonstrations and/or displays of signs in connection with
the memorial service to be held for Cpl. Newman should occur only within a defined area of the Fairgrounds;
