27. Who are these security people?

What is their training? Are any of them armed? What is their legal liability, the legal liability of the sponsoring organization? Very many of the people who will wear a gun will be ready to sue over any real or perceived slight.
And, most importantly, where were the police? Like them or not we pay for them to keep order. They should be held accountable when they fail, as they did here. Protest is our right under the Constitution, at least until the Republicans can get it changed. But the police have a responsibility to see that protests, which must be scheduled and cleared in advance, are held safely. If, because some reich-wing whackjobs on the supremacist court interpret the 2nd amendment in a certain way, safety means that each side must be kept apart the distance of a sniper rifle shot, then that is the reality in which we live.
