Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli

Here is a shield and a couple of gas masks from a rioter arrested in Portland. Not a sign with a slogan that someone expressing their first amendment rights might carry, but preparations for violence. Peaceful protester? I don’t think so.
A shield and gas masks are defensive items. What could they be preparing to defend against, a stray rubber bullet to the skull? The tear gassing of moms?
Hey, remember all those "open up" protests with guns everywhere, inside capital buildings? Did the acting deputy Secretary say anything about it or say to send in unmarked officers? No? Ah nonetheless.
the right has given their fringe way, way too much power.
