        Hadn't thought about that. But it'd make sense. If they hadn't been seen explicitly letting people in, they could have gone on about how they had been mistreated, and forbidden to use their toys, and that's why they were powerless to stop the big bad riot people. Might also explain the pitiful line they had to stop them.

        But when the trumplies were too chicken to actually break through, they had to straight up invite them.

          It was the perfect meeting of two forces who, really didn't want to get violent with each other. (I WONDER WHY?)

          Sports riots happen even when they win though. Though I guess we'd be at the Kristallnacht level if they had won and were rioting.

      Yeah. Look at the 1968 DNC convention. The cops were almost entirely responsible for the riot in that one.
