Bravo to Snohomish mayor, armed citizens

Recently some Snohomish County citizens have criticized Mayor John Kartak for welcoming other citizens that legally gathered to protect the city, its citizens, shop owners and peaceful protesters from non-peaceful protesters. Unlike Seattle’s experience, there was no property destruction and no people injured, and that’s a good thing.

Exercising one’s Second Amendment right does not prevent another from exercising his First Amendment right; nay, it protects it. Bravo, Mayor Kartak and the armed citizens of Snohomish.
