The article says it was near where Joe Biden was at the time. Perhaps the two perps were there to see Joe Biden and they were under the impression that it was all Biden turf, private property and whatnot.
If I was going to some political event, and I saw some people protesting against it, I might tell the cops. The cops could say, "they have a right to be there, that's public space" or "that's private space, call the event organizer and we can trespass them."
I wouldn't take things into my own hands.
That's always been my stance, defer to the authorities. I get a lot more flak for my stance from folks on the right, than I do from folks on the left. It's mostly the righties who seem to think that not relying on local authority is somehow part of being manly.
