They drove the rector off and disrupted an event, supporting a constitutionally given right to assemble organized by St Johns by using tear gas, rubber bullets and flashbangs to drive them off St Johns grounds for a campaign photo event.
Wrong on many levels.
Perhaps you can justify lining them up and shooting them to keep people safe.

If you can tear gas ministers and drive them off church property, violate American's first amendment rights and have Trumplican's in the Senate acclaim him, I'm sure he can line people up and shoot them without some batting an eye.
It's not a far stretch from shooting someone on Fifth Avenue or Bill Barr deciding without notice to extend the perimeter around the White House.
Trump's presidency is over.
What he is doing now has nothing to do with the constitutional powers of a president.
But something resembling the "Reich Chancellorship" may soon begin if we don't get him out of there fast.
Hunting down the dissidents comes next and the context is already set.
Antifa will be the cover because by claiming it to be a "international" terrorist organization, constitutional protections can be twisted to fit the goals of this administration.
It’s important to understand what the Insurrection Act, Posse Comitatus Act, & Constitution say.
It’s also important to remember that what’s lawful—or held out as lawful—can still be deeply awful.
Authoritarians abuse the law, until the law can’t contain them any more.
That is where we are at

“Over more than two centuries, the United States has stirred a very wide range of feelings in the rest of the world: love and hatred, fear and hope, envy and contempt, awe and anger,” columnist Fintan O’Toole wrote in the Irish Times. “But there is one emotion that has never been directed towards the US until now: pity.”
