An interesting read on the protests.
“Our City Hall should not give fascists the platform and our tax dollars should not pay fascists [cops] to protect fascists,” said one unnamed protester, moments after cursing at and taunting the Conservative activists separated by a line of officers. “Technically, hate speech is not covered under federal law, right?”

Ideologically speaking, I obviously side with the pro-Second Amendment message, but I find these types of protests, in Seattle or Portland, an intentionally provocative trolling of Antifa.
Consequently, I’m on the fence.
How is this "provocative"? Serious question.
Isn't ANY demonstration intended to provoke thought and response and debate, and to air a belief?
Weren't all the marches on WA DC the same kind of provocative, but magnified?
Another of the recent confusions (of many) is how and why the Patriot Prayer and 3%er groups are considered racist. This is coming from pure ignorance on my part.
How are their positions ignored, but their "whiteness" highlighted as clear evidence of racism?
