You have public rallies and you have private rallies.

So a public rally is you want to have your Klan rally or your Nazi rally over here in the park on Main Street.

So you've got to go to City Hall or wherever and apply for a permit, right?

That's public rally, that's public park.

So anybody can come.

You can come, I can come, whatever.

Now, if there's potential for violence or whatever, there's going to be a barricade of police in between the ralliers and the protesters, so they can't meet each other, right?

You can yell and scream over the police head, right?

But if it's in some rural place, like he's talking about in rural Minnesota...

You know, anybody, everybody can go.

There's not a whole lot of police presence.

It's mostly white people.

And but if it's a private rally, it's on private property.

One of the members might have a farm.

OK, you know, we can have the rally on my farm.

We just can't walk on somebody's farm unless you're invited.

So you have to be invited by one of the higher ups.

In his case, the commander.

In the Klan case, the imperial wizard or the grand dragon.

And so it's like a Simon Says.
