Right. The object here is to send an unmistakable intimidating message about who’s in charge in case anybody else is getting any ideas. That and smear any opposing ideology as the stuff of domestic terrorists.
I wonder if the people who really could be in charge, and in short order, are ever going to realize the disparity in numbers…?

It’s a well-known and exploitable psychological phenomenon. I’m surprised sentences aren’t being appealed based on exploitation and manipulation by provocateurs trained to agitate and elicit such reactions in crowds.
I wonder if subpoenas by defense attorneys would reveal coordinated plans and instructions.

So when are they going to arrest her?
And no, of course, I don’t agree with the ban. I just can’t help but notice she’d be happy to arrest us for “violating” citizen disarmament laws she agrees with.
