If I am understanding it correctly, a stay at home order was issued because the shooter was still "at large" having shot at authorities and then fleeing. The time the protests was supposed to be was covered under the stay at home order.
I think the protests should happen if at all possible, but I understand not wanting people on the streets when there is a known gunman about.
If the protests against Trump are canceled because his supporters assassinate Democrats, it will encourage more assassinations.
No statewide stay at home order was issued.

Please don't stalk me around Lemmy. I've reported this comment and I'll be blocking you.
How tan?
1 gunman, thousands of protesters. Hmmm.
Right, the gunman might run into the crowd and loudly announce that he was going to shoot them before being wrestled to the ground, or the gunman might find a safe perch and fire indiscriminately into the crowd, causing casualties, panic and chaos, then melt away into the night.
Tough to say which one is more likely
Just wondering if you know how mass shootings happen? Cause you listed their preferred recipe.
The stay at home order was for one suburb where the assassin fled on foot.
