Not really. Any large gathering of angry people is dangerous (and especially capable of killing). No?

I think this is a good point to throw out a reminder: danger is not binary. If it were binary all of these activities would be equivalent:

* taking a nap * eating a meal * riding a bicycle * playing Russian roulette

What do any of these have to do with a large group of angry people?

Indeed it is! However, in the case of the Richmond, VA rally there was no violence. And the people that participated in the rally did so in accordance with the law.
