Has anyone here ever “counter-protested” someone else’s event?

“Counter-protesting” sounds an awfully lot like “conspiracy to deny Constitutional rights”, especially when it so predictably leads to violence initiated by “counter-protesting” terrorists.

Counterprotest does not mean trying to stop the other side’s protest. It just means showing that there are two sides.

We counterprotested the big lefty demonstration in NYC durng the primary campaigns when Trump was speaking at the Hyatt. And were approached by lefties with raised fists who were only dissuaded by the actions of the NYPD.

We were a tiny group and they were many but that wasn’t the important difference: we weren’t trying to stop them, but they were trying to stop us.
