I think people do not realize that for large gatherings where violence could break out this is pretty standard.

Most Sports stadiums have them.

I do not think it is wrong to be cautious, or at least have some pieces on the table in case something breaks out.

Which I am sorry to say, could very well happen.

1:5 Americans believe that an act of force is justified. RIght wing or left wing, that could be a terrifying concept if someone motivated by zealous anger to attack a protest they don't fully understand.
