The authorities will just stand aside while the pussyhats and the Nazis square-off?

They certainly stood aside during a Trump rally in San Jose Ca. The courts have sided against the police and are allowing a lawsuit to go forward.
Trump supporters who were attacked at 2016 protests in San Jose can move forward with a lawsuit against the city’s police, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled.

The court’s 3-0 decision on July 27 upheld a federal judge’s refusal to dismiss the lawsuit.

Judge Dorothy Nelson further highlighted the idea that police failed to adequately handle a fluid situation.

“The attendees allege the officers shepherded them into a violent crowd of protesters and actively prevented them from reaching safety,” she wrote. “The officers continued to implement this plan even while witnessing the violence firsthand.”

The June 2016 protests went viral on social media as citizens shared footage of eggs pelting one Trump supporter. Others were chased for wearing red “Make America Great Again” hats.

“The police directed all of the people leaving the event into an ongoing riot that was occurring with violent protesters armed with sticks and, you know, other implements,” lawyer and California RNC member Harmeet Dhillon told Fox News on Monday. “Several of my clients were hit with bags of rocks, sucker-punched, chased, had their clothes torn off, spit on, had eggs thrown at them. The clients in this case, or class of representatives, range from young teens to ladies in their seventies. It was quite an outrageous scene there that day.


“The police stood there and did nothing after barring the exits to safety,” Ms. Nelson added on behalf of 20 plaintiffs. “Under Ninth Circuit law, there’s what’s called the state-created danger doctrine. If you put people into danger, then the government is responsible for that.”

Twenty people suffered minor injuries. Now they know what it was like at Antietam? Do they regroup and fight back? No, they sue the government.
They sue the government because they need the government to take care of them just like the pussyhats do.

Serve and protect by LEO only applies to liberals?

Liberals get roughed-up in some of these fracases too. When they do, they sue, just like conservatives do.

As fragmented as the country seems to be, there's the possibility that there would be more than just 2 sides. And do you think the Russians and the Chinese won't be in the mix? I try to not think about it. Would be an eff'n mess.

Beats me. I've never heard of a leftist protest turning violent. Have you?

I have.

Leftist counter protests certainly get violent

Sarcasm, my friends, sarcasm.

The masses can always be unified by a single event that instantly unifies them in a common cause.

Everyone’s suprised when they die via precision guided munitions.

No one expects the GBU Inquisition.
