Yeah, these guys:

I guess by today's standards they should have all been mowed down by a .50 caliber mounted to an armored car.

They DID bring weapons to what was supposed--I assume--to be a peaceful protest....

I guess if Democrats hadn't treated these guys with kid gloves then today's ICE wouldn't have to go around shooting protesters....
