I don't think these groups should be forced to shut down. Yeah they're pretty toxic and should be condemned but they have the right to protest their far right and far left ideals. Police departments should do better jobs at trying to stop these encounters from getting out of control.

You cannot put this all on the Police, they are only so many and if the crowds on both sides are big they will not have enough personnel. The thing about these groups is once they go violent, then they place themselves in the position to be shut down, denied rights to public protest or assemble. Now the key is if the other side had the opportunity would they plant people to commit violence in the name of the other side.  Oh the games we can play once regulations starts flying around.

Well I do blame the police. It's their job to prevent this from happening and they know beforehand when a protest will happen. If it's a big crowd then send in more cops.
