I'm far from a left wing loon, but I question the wisdom of the sponsors. Just because an event is a peaceful lawful assembly, it does not follow that it is prudent to stage the event. Did they not see that this event might have provoked violence and invited a terrorist attack? It is fortunate that innocent people weren't killed.
I'm not assigning blame, and I'm not loosing any sleep over two terrorists being killed, but excercising liberty in artistic expression needs to be balanced with a concern for public safety; we dodged a bullet here. Let's not live in fear but let us learn from this. I expect caution will be excercised in decisions about having such future events.

You got it, mate. Here's hoping other venues will learn from what happened in Garland and think twice about giving this woman and her followers a place to draw in terrorists to kill innocent people.
