Let me straighten out the “ticket” situation.
Anybody that signs up to go gets a ticket. There is no limit on tickets, so nobody was keeping a ticket from someone else. When I went to a rally in 2017, we didn’t even have to show our ticket to get in (may have changed since then).
They gave out (they are FREE) over 1 million tickets to this event, but the venue only holds 17,000. Do you think that they expected 1 million people to show up? Of course not.
What really messed with the crowd was the gang of street thugs blocking entrances and threatening families that wanted to get in to see the rally. If the people standing in line were all armed and angry like me, they would all have gotten in (except they wouldn’t get in armed because the SS carefully screens every person before entry).
How do we prevent that from happening next time?
