I don't think you realize that I was posting to show that there are always fools who protest things like these Nazis did.  Or that I ever said they couldn't.  I acknowledged this was peaceful...just like 95% or more of the protests going on right now that some choose to ignore in favor of pushing a narrative.

It's telling that me pointing out those things (Nazis and bad people were always here & protests can be peaceful) is taken by you be a "self own" rather than an simply acknowledgment of reality rather than a political talking point about violent protesters because you disagree with the message of the protests.
