22. The thing that worries me the most is the fast mass response of those thugs.

That suggest to me they have an network that's almost certainly on social media which allows them to issue a call to arms to respond quickly to any event they don't like. Assembling 800 counter-protesters (many with guns) didn't happen by coincidence.

Not only did they intimidate and stoke fear into the small band of protesters, they also did so with that tiny local police force.

The clear aim of the right-wing and their helpmate Russia is to intimidate and to quench any dissension directed at their fascist dogma.

That is about as anti-American as it gets......
