I am a somewhat disabled senior citizen and cannot defend myself using the large muscle groups of my body. Therefore, I cannot defend myself from young violent rioters without recourse to the use of fine motor movements in my hands.

It is free speech for everyone or it is free speech for no one.

People have two ways to persuade others - speech and violence. When you deny them the ability to speak, all they have left is violence - and you don’t want that. So let them speak.

The nazis were peacefully offensive. The liberal bullies showed up in droves, with weapons and police withdrawing to give them free rein to attack peaceful people (the nazis).
That is FASCISM. Both in organized liberal mobs using violence to silence people and police denying the people they don’t like protection from ACTUAL violence.
Remember that this is part of a pattern of liberal officials refusing police protection to people they disagree with.
At the San Jose Trump rally, liberals showed up with eggs and rocks and then chased down people wearing pro-Trump clothing, while police stood aside.
At Berkley, police said “We’ll protect you” and then didn’t as liberal mobs attacked conservatives in line to hear Milo Yianapolis. And they refused to take police reports from people who landed in the hospital.
Ben Shapiro was refused entry to an event because of violent liberal mobs. In other cases, liberal mobs blocked people and threatened speakers (getting on stage to hit Milo once), while security stood by and said we cannot do anything, we’re told not to do anything except protect the protestors.

Which is why the Left has been undermining the Second Amendment for decades, as well as subverting the Judiciary.

Only fascists deny free speech.
