Tempmoana, it also has been the tactic of the alt-left to not obtain permits and show up en masse, armed to the teeth to confront, provoke and elicit a response from those who have permits to use politically.   Liberals believe they have the moral high ground because alt-right extremists supposedly are more despicable than alt-left extremists.  That is wrong; there are no grades of despicability.  One has to wonder if the events in Charlottesville would have occurred if the small group of disaffected individuals held their rally to protest the possible removal of the General Lee statue and everyone, especially the media, ignored them.  Unfortunately, alt-left groups were going to let that happen.  Instead, they put a call to arms, and trouble, violence and a killing occurred.  Trump was right about a lot of blame to go around on both sides.
