Why not recruit patriotic and conservative MMA experts to accompany other, less-imposing conservatives to some of these meetings? These fighters, even the smaller ones, are tough as nails and if physically attacked could deliver a lasting lesson to these thugs. But perhaps that would not be possible since, like boxers, these athletes' fighting skills may be considered deadly, as indeed they are. But I should think they have the right to physically defend themselves against a thug short of killing him. A broken arm or jaw would suffice.
I’m 3rddan mma and can tell you, the people are stronger than all of the thugs they send.
Get some good handcuffs and mob the perps just like the cops and cuff ‘em danno!
This is where you find out if you are a coward or if you will fight for what you speak. simple.
Be safe!
