They are allowed to to protest peacefully. I have not seen any looting or head bashing from these folks.

We will see more and more people joining militias, as government officials refuse to uphold their duty of protecting its citizens.

For me, I said born american. True, if your american born then all the rights in the book, you shall enjoy it. But to immigrants, it is not rights but a privilege given to you to also enjoy that but hey that right canbe taken if you are doing unlawful things..if the government can't protect its people then the people must protect themselves,
