It's a page right out of Mein Kamph. Hitler would go to a town to speak and the communists would rabble rouse, throw things and try to drive away the spectators. The early Storm Troopers were Hitler's supporters and body guards who would go into the crowd and fight with the protesters so that Hitler could give his speech. Since Mein Kamph is not required reading in the American and Canadian school systems, this is a perfect example of "if history is fogotten it tends to repeat itself."

Now most Winnipeggers are scared to go to events talking about issues because they don't want to be categorized and potentially attacked, even possibly put their employment at risk.

This is exactly what the government wants and why it does not use police to stop the violence. They don't want people going out and hearing what either the right or the left has to say. (ignorance is strength) Meanwhile, the MSM spins the story to frighten those sitting in front of the boob tube even more.

People have a right to assemble and air their grievances and those who don't agree are free to not listen. That's being a mature adult.

Government doesn't want educated and informed citizens. That's why books like Mein Kamph (it's not even in my spell checker), Marx's Communist Manifesto and even Ted Kazinski's Unibomber Manifesto are not required reading in school. They're afraid students might learn to think for themselves.

Just making these statements will make some people accuse me of being a white supremicist, NAZI fascist, but let me assure you, I'm a democratic anarchist right to the bone. Self rule, without authority.

Good post. Keep up the good work. This tiny minnow upped the vote.
