Exactly where were these "regular folks" you speak of?

"Malice of forethought." I have to remember that one.

So, tell me, how exactly did you determine "regular folks" were in the crowd? Do you know anyone who was there, or anyone who would even consider being there? I don't.

I'm not familiar with the event you mentioned. Nevertheless, I'd say the so-called "free speakers" were "thugs" too, assuming it's true. They knew there'd be violence, and they got what they came for.
Do you think anyone who attends these "events" leaves with a different opinion? So what's the point, besides shouting vulgarities and senseless violence. Nothing changes, and the divide between the sides grows wider. It's stupidity personified at the highest level. KKK, neo-nazis, antifa, white supremacists, free speakers...call them what you want, they are all thugs.

Now run along, and scour your right wingnut sites for your next mindless topic to post.

Political rallies are another example of wasted time and resources, IMO. What exactly do they accomplish? Do you know anyone who changed their political affiliation after attending a rally? Do rallies generate more votes for the candidate? Who comes home from a political rally and says, "gee, that was GREAT!!" ? Nobody I know.
I don't need to gather with like-minded crowds to re-affirm my political ideology. And I certainly have no desire to shout vulgarities at those who have different opinions. It all seems so infantile to me.
