There isn’t one. We have had demonstrations all through American history. It has been a tradition to have people shouting at each other, competing with picket signs, bullhorns, even occasionally and unfortunately fistfights.
What we didn’t have is opposing sides openly carrying weaponry, especially not semi-automatics. Even if those weapons are not fired, they will be used to intimidate, as they were in Charlottesville.
It is time state legislators come to their senses. One of these days we are going to see a massacre at what should have been a peaceful assembly to air grievances. Wait for it.
What happened in Charlottesville isn't as shocking to me as the fact that nobody got shot by one of those yahoos carrying an assault rifle. It's a miracle more people weren't killed.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. Somebody at one of these protests will lose it and open fire. It is just a matter of time.
