I just think these various rallies and events are getting more and more out of control. And if the Left has a tactic of using violence and intimidation, they better expect more and more backlashes......that is just human nature.
Give it time, it came close at the Berkeley riot. antifa attacked people with bike locks and one guy got beat with a skateboard (of all things). 2X4's with nails , flag poles with nails in them....come on , you don't think that is unhinged ?
These groups are all the same, just their "cause" and names are different.
That horse being attacked really set me off. I've patrolled events on horseback for general security before (not as LE but I've rode with them) and it's a tough gig. People always come up and reach for your horses head to try and pet them without permission. Sudden movements toward a horses head are a serious no no. They will balk every time and when a thousand pound animal moves even if just gently you don't want to be in the way. The rider has to regain control which takes effort and distracts attention. You have to have 360 degree vision.
Someone actually attacking a mounted officer is just an act that frosts me. I thought these radical nuts are all about supporting animal rights too. Seems not so much. Mounted officers have my total respect and their horses more so.

I couldn't agree with you more, I am one of those weird people that tend to have more compassion towards animals than people. Particularly in cases like this one. That horse could have easily went out of control, killed the rider and other people around, and in the end the horse would have had to be put down all due to this "peaceful protestor". How can these people be so blind to see where the hate and violence is being generated ? Sure the W/S groups are , have and always will be filled with hate but other than the one driving thru the crowd have been pretty low key thru out the years. I don't recall seeing any type of violence from them lately, not that I'm giving them a free pass, though.
I say arrest the pee hurlers and test the urine for drugs to up the charges against them. Actually, maybe the police could shoot the urine bags while they are still in the hands of the "antifarts" so the pee gets all over the antifarts. They can use BB Guns. Think of it like taking out North Korea's missiles while they are still on the launch pad.
same thing the KKK and white nationalist brought on the first rally- (FACTS)
doesn't make either right -
Act like a fascist and you'll be considered a fascist even if you say you're anti fascist. Antifa is pro fascist.
Cogent logic chain--except the end statement--you forgot the modifying statement..'In my opinion...'
