especially where there are protesters and counter protesters in the same location.
No the problem is that protesters should not loot, riot, or engage in violent behavior. Doing those things makes them terrorists. That is why the racist BLM and Antif things are domestic terrorists.

Can I bring a skateboard to a protest to smash some skulls?
What about Molotov cocktail?
What about a handgun?
But no rifle, right?

Asking for 2 dead guys and 1 guy with his arm blown off.

No AR15 like the one Kyle was carrying.

AK47 is ok though as long as you are BLM

I heard it was perfectly ok to carry rifles inside CHOP/CHAZ zone though.

It’s cool

It's only a matter of time, someone crazy is going to roll up on this protest and do it like Steven Paddock in Vegas, watch and see...

The Problem is PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BRING GUNS TO PROTESTS unless the protest is about Gun Rights


No, the problem is that people keep going to riots.

Stop that, and the problem is gone.

Unhappy If the police & NG has been doing their jobs, Kyle would not have been attacked

Even the prosecutor's charging documents state that Joseph "aggro red shirt guy" Rosenbaum attacked the 17-year-old.

This is a much broader issue than this one kid
The broader issue is the police & NG were doing nothing to stop the rioters (not protesters) from burning and looting, which is the reason Kyle and his friends were at that building that night.

Owners (residents, renters) have a right to be there and a right to defend; their rights don't go away because a crowd of looters and arsonists come to them.
