Did his parents say, this is what you need to do when you grow up to be an adult, Go in there and be a rabble rouser, go out there and raise hell and get into physical altercations with our federal law enforcement. By the way, when you go to a rally, you have a right to carry a gun. Thank goodness for the Second Amendment. But then get into a physical confrontation with law enforcement, that wasn't a smart move. I wouldn't encourage any of your viewers. Do not go to a rally or don't go to any type of ICE event.
