The “good news” is this won’t be happening anymore as they won’t allow anymore Trump rallies soon. /slight sarcasm

IMO, I should be allowed to attend a “peaceful public assembly”. And if anyone hits me, threatens me, or just gets up in my face and yells at me and calls me names, then I should be allowed to defend myself with absolutely no fear of facing any charges. Let’s return to a polite society.

Going to take bloodshed before getting back to anything polite.
The other side doesn’t understand “polite”; they understand force.
And they mean to impose their will on us.
I for one will not be imposed upon.

Oneself to be terrorized.”

A brave young man.

He is, of course, correct. Never give up. Never give in.

I desperately want to find one of these riots where they attack me. I will kill every single attacker.

Let the bodies hit the floor.

"Downs said three people went after his girlfriend and five went after him."

This is why the left wants us disarmed. Most people in DC are unable to go through the difficult process to legally have a gun and carry it.

That says all you need to know about ANTIFA and BLM...

One on one, they will stand around and chant, yell, and curse...That’s about all’’’

The only time they physically come after you is when they outnumber you 3 or 4 to 1....

Treat the assembly of a black block mob as if the KKK is in front of your home. It is a lynch mob, act in self-defense.

Typical Democratic/Leftist attack plan:
If it’s 20 to 1 in our favor, attack
If it’s 1 to 1 in their favor, run back to mom’s basement
