California Man Denied Permit to Protest

"Michael Zeleny, a free-speech and Second Amendment activist has
sued the City of Menlo Park, California, and a number of city and state
officials for denial of his civil rights under the First, Second and
Fourteenth Amendments. The reason: he was denied a permit to
protest while carrying an unloaded AK-47 rifle."
Mr Zeleny also made some remarks in the comment section of the
article (at least someone claiming to be him), including a Link to
some, uh, weird / sex animations regarding his ongoing dispute
against Min Zhu, Cisco WebEx founder, with commentary about his
2014 People v. Michael Zeleny
One of his comments:
"Michael Zeleny says:

No, my argument has nothing to do with “filming yourself having sex
with a prostitute and then claiming you were just making perfectly
legal pornography”. That said, you can make perfectly legal
pornography starring yourself, provided that your purpose in paying
the acting fees is to make a sexually explicit movie or video, rather
than to serve sexual arousal or gratification, your own or the actors’.
Note that the burden of proving beyond reasonable doubt the
requisite mens rea or purpose to establish your procurement for
purposes of prostitution, falls on the prosecution.
See People v. Freeman, 46 Cal.3d 419 (1988)."

Man who wanted to wave guns during
protest sues Menlo Park and 3 officials

"Zeleny is asking the federal court to declare unconstitutional the
California laws Menlo Park cited to stop his gun-waving protest.
The lawsuit describes Zeleny as “an internationally renowned researcher
of the history and technology of firearms.” The suit said Zeleny holds a
California Certificate of Eligibility, which indicates he has passed
Department of Justice background checks and is eligible to possess firearms.
Zeleny details his grievance with Zhu in the lawsuit and said that a 2010
attempt by Zhu’s company, New Enterprise Associates, to obtain a
temporary restraining order against him was rejected by the San Mateo
County Superior Court."
