Oh, this is a wee bit more complicated

There’s nothing wrong with organising a counter-protest. In fact it’s essential to free speech and serves as a corrective to the community— demonstrates that the fascist thugs do not represent the community and will not be supported.
It’s just like the counter-demonstrations every time there is a neo-Nazi march in the US or a KKK march. It’s actually healthy for the community to counter-protest. And then the newspapers will report that although 50 neonazis had the right to hold a march, 3000 people turned out to protest that march.

I support it fully.
