In reply to Cecil.

Center never had a problem with that whole speech is the answer to speech you don’t like thing.

Far left whack jobs and far right whack jobs on the other hand…..they’ve gone so far away from the center they’ve gone around the block and met on the other side, metaphorically speaking.

White hoods, black hoods….same difference – thugs one and all.

Brown shirts….black shirts…..same difference – thugs one and all.

The left needs to learn that there is no hate speech, only speech you agree with and that you do not. And that both are legal and social consequences shouldn’t include being beaten with a baseball bat, maced, or otherwise assaulted by private citizens. And that the answer to speech you do not like is more speech.
The right and center may need to review that lesson as well.
And there is no restriction that you may only have one right at the time, so yes, you may peacefully assemble and bear arms at the same time.

Words have consequences. And when elected officials speak with the aire of authority of their office, it should be of defense of any individual who seems to follow the public and authoritative speech of government.
Thus, perhaps pro-wall builders should flood 911 with calls, just as requested by the council person. A sort of shout down of an official who confuses her own personal politics with the responsibility that goes with her office to not request harmful acts of her constituents.
