Yes or no, was there right-wing activists, clad in black riot gear with weapons at the protests?
Yes. Based Stickman was there. He brought backup and wore protective gear and carried a flagpole. The sole purpose was to defend against the Antifa thugs they knew were coming. Why? The last time, the Trump supporters were completely unprepared and violently attacked and beat up. Or did you forget that? That's the whole point. I would support them if I lived on the west coast.
I don't like the Black Panthers but they have a right to protest and that must be respected and they must not be harmed.
Trump supporters who are absolutely not even 1/100th as radical as the Black Panthers have the same right, protected under the constitution.
The question remains, do Trump supporters have the right to defend themselves or should they simply allow themselves to be attacked?
