36. USCP is not arresting them because of the First Amendment.

They are duchebags all, shitbags who hide behind masks, but like the Klan, and Nazi groups, they also have protections of the Constitution.

Do I hope lightning strikes them, a tree limb falls on them, heat stroke, yes to all, act of god or self inflicted injury, but I will also protect their right to protest no matter how abhorrent. I brought my daughter to a nazi march at the capitol years ago so she could understand what the First Amendment actually means and she ended up writing her college essay on the expierence. It is an odd lesson but one I will continue to protect.
