It's been reported that agents provocateurs have been seeded among the protesters to make protestors look like unhinged gun nuts. I certainly hope that it doesn't happen but a "shooting" might be planned to reinforce the mmistaken idea that gun rights people are crazed.

Standard procedure. They've been doing this for centuries.

I've been thinking exactly this, was going to comment it under another video. Peaceful protests are a meme, you'll always have infiltrators and co-opters and (glad that you ask, purely hypothetically of course) if you cannot beat these provocateurs to death in front of the crowd you're desperately trying to hold together then you will accomplish exactly nothing. I learned this in Egypt, the protestors on the square were absolutely riddled with agents who they beat the shit out of then let go for the police to come back and exact revenge with kidnappings and brutal torture.

I was just theorizing, certainly not suggesting that anyone commit violence. Yes, they will always infiltrate any group that even has potential for violence. Anyway, I would be a fool to discuss violence on the Internet. I may be dumb but I'm not stupid. :)
