A terrible precedent is being set with guns in public places...

149. I didn't deny there are fascists governments attacking protesters.

I merely pointed out that protesters are not usually causing fear and terror by the act of lawful and peaceful assembly (some do, usually CIA plants pretending to be anarchists, but not as a rule).

That thugs attack peaceful protesters is a very different issue that you are trying to equate to crazy people walking around armed near children. If the protesters were strapped, they would be terrorizing people like the assholes running around with weapons scaring kids and parents and your comparison would make at least some sense. But they aren't doing that now are they?

You are being silly by trying to claim protesters brandishing words are the same as armed gunmen scaring children, not just silly, but dishonest and manipulative.

Just own it, they are not exhibiting the same behavior, causing fear to advance the right to cause more fear with weapons around children is terrorist activity, perhaps not by the legal standards of an insane country with laws that protect their right to use fear and intimidation for their political goals, but terrorist tactics nonetheless.

Peaceful protester brandishing words = armed gunmen intimidating children is a false equivalency that reeks of dishonesty and desperation.
