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.
