    Why didn't all those people in Dallas just stop Lee Harvey Oswald?

    You are veering into WriteThinking territory.

    "Just stop!"

    Ok. Sure. But then don't tell me the "good folks" there condemn violence, or don't want to be associated with Antifa's violence.

    If you're in a position to prevent it, and you don't, then you own a share of it.

    Why? The huge majority of good folks there condemn violence and don't want to be associated with antifa's violence. Why would they throw themselves between neo-Nazis and junior anarchists?

    This is Baronesque. Oswald didn't show up and announce his intentions, and find no opposition.

    Antifa show up, "in uniform"' and with stated intentions to commit violence. In Boston there's video of fellow attendees cheering them as they make their way through the crowd.

    This isn't an inability of the "good folks" to prevent violence. It's an unwillingness.

    The answer that you are trying to push everyone toward, as always, is that all people who lean left are bad people, and I'm not going to play Binary Choice Theater.

    Question: why don't good Muslims do more to prevent Islamic terrorism?

    Answer: Oh my God! Muslims have been condemning violence everywhere you look.

    Question: But what about cases where folks knew something in advance, and said nothing, like in Orlando and San Bernardino?

    Answer: Not their job to protect Kafirs.

    I miss "scandals" like this.

    You haven't seen any video, have you?

    You wouldn't exonerate any other group that allowed such a small percentage to commit violence without doing anything to stop it.
