Quit trying to change the subject. It's not a matter of who's at fault, whoever throws the punch is at fault. But if you put people in a situation where you know they may get smacked, don't be surprised and play the martyr when it happens.
The public safety of obvious conservatives and Republicans ends when there's a liberal or Democrat rally in proximity.
Thank you for agreeing with me.
To be fair, that wasn't a change in subject. I agree -- the action was provocative and better avoided, and a policy of not entering the oppossing side's rally in a group, especially with counter-demonstration signs is wise.
Yet without making clear that actual attack by ANSWER is THE major problem. it almost looks like you are blaming the Prtotest Warrior people for getting beat up.
