Stop the steal rally

Okay, lets talk about common sense.

If someone goes to a rally to stop something, they are supporting a cause.

If someone attends the rally to stop something and were instructed to march towards the location in unity to stop it, wouldn't that hostile?

Peaceful demonstration are protesting ones grievances, but when protecting is changed from peaceful to armed, that is no longer protected.

Granted, bad actors may revert the atmosphere of the peaceful protest intent towards hostile, but when the group starts off being hostile, then everyone stepping forward at that point would and should be a hostile group.

Common sense.

What are your thoughts that Trump had an army January 6, 2021 and everyone taking a step towards the National Capitol would be considered insurgents?

ThePrivileges and Immunities Clause(U.S. Constitution,Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1,

"Those who come under the denomination of free inhabitants of a State, although not citizens of such State, are entitled, in every other State, to all the privileges of free citizens of the latter; that is, to greater privileges than they may be entitled to in their own State". James Madison discussed that provision of the Articles of Confederation in Federalist No. 42. Madison wrote.

So if a person travels from lets say Illinois to Texas and needs an abortion. Then that womens right to abortion in Illinois should be afforded her in Texas.

About Smackdown2019

I am Conservative Democrat that believes in the rights of all people, but also believes in fiscal responsibility. Government programs that support the poor should be protected, but not abused. Government subsidies should also be brought back and the dependencies of quick junk food be abolished for the health of our Nation.
