I have no doubt that unless this is stopped in the courts, these squads will be showing up on November 3rd in mostly minority neighborhoods to ensure "free and fair" elections. Sad that we have learned nothing from Italy and Germany of the 1920s and 1930s, and the rise of authoritarianism in modern day Europe.
Sometimes it takes Homeland Security to keep law and order.

There is nothing I like about the hateful groups that gather. I think they are dangerous mobs. Marching is a euphemism for gathering with like minded people who are gonna get madder and break something and burn something. None of them are people I respect. If it takes a baton, well ....


I think no matter what happens later this year, there really won't be a winner.
