    @shooter242

    It seems to me that the discussion has two sides: (1) the particular group called the RNCWC that apparently was advocating violence, and (2) the justification for police activity directed at nonviolent groups, such as the ones Glenn is talking about in his post. Concerning (1), I'll take other people's word for it that this particular group was indeed advocating violence and that some form of police response was appropriate. If that's not the case, I'll revise my view. But it seems to me that the real question is about (2). At least, that's what Glenn has talked a lot about in his post, so it deserves comment. What are your views there?
