Could the runners be brave enough to run through the gauntlet of protesters?? I bet they would be fearful of doing so.
Can’t the protesters be dispersed and arrested if they interfere with the marathon?? If you go on the field of a sports event in progress, you are subject to expulsion and arrest. Why wouldn’t the same reasoning apply to those who want to interfere in the Twin Cities marathon???
I just figured that since Boston the area at the end of the run would be barricaded off and access restricted. I did a 60 mile walk once and as we neared the last block the barriers came up until there was no one near us except the volunteers who had access tags.
Because the Police Departments of the Twin Cities are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Democrat Party. They are not going to do anything to upset their voter base.
