Yes. Not just defending themselves, but seeing a need to defend others. When I watch a mob descend Rand Paul, it infuriates me. I don't like politicians as a general rule, but they should be able to cross the street without people attacking them. These mob tactics have to stop. People are becoming fed up with it. Unless the moderates stop straddling the fence and reject this outright, there are going to be more clashes like Rittenhouse, where people who wouldn't normally be there, go to protect others. Force will escalate.
