Alt-Right v. antifa: chaos reigns.
What is the duty of the POTUS now, before this public violence becomes more deadly?
1. Never, you would all scream Trump is a Fascist even louder if Habeas is suspended.
2. The Police can handle it if they are given the proper orders
3. Anything can be made into a weapon, meaningless
4. About as Unconstitutional as one can get.
There is absolutely no reason to allow bats, shields, pepper spray and cement filled soda cans into a political rally. Or masks. Or body armor. Those rifle toting militia who had taken it upon themselves to police the crowd for awhile? Kudos to them for keeping those guns silent.
I thought about it this morning. Thank God they kept the guns out of it.
A person has a right to defend themselves, even when others decide to use such things to attack others, not defend.
You would have to search every single person and that would just move the fight from the square to the barriers.
If people think they cannot peacefully protest without risk of harm, they will arm themselves to defend themselves.
