Americans can go anyplace in America and their Constitutional rights as Americans go with them.

So why then is it so important for mayors and governors and presidents to brand some Americans as being 'outside agitators' who do not live in a particular state or community?

I may no longer live within the official City of Detroit and instead live in a near by community in SE Michigan. If there is a match in Detroit of Ann Arbor - why can't I as a Michigander and American go and participate without the usual suspects trying to brand me as an outsider.

No American is an outsider in the United States of America.
 
Its a marketing ploy uaes by politicians to help easy the tensions of their constituents. Saying it is outside agitators ia much better PR than admitting it may be local agitators and having neighbors fear each other more than they already do.

Either way there are agitators turning peaceful demonstrations into riots.

There are no insiders nor outsiders. Only peaceful protesters and criminal rioters. Doesn't matter where the looters or vandals come from they should be shot dead at the doorway of the business they are destroying or stealing from. If it was my business and I was inside that's exactly what would happen. The world had no use for thieves. Never has and never will.

Yeah, I think that's it. If you're having trouble dealing with your idiots, you don't need a bunch of idiots coming in from out of town to add to the trouble.
 
You can be an "outsider" and not be an "agitator." I assume it's the people coming from other states to agitate and cause trouble that the mayors and governors were referring to...and not those who come to show solidarity and peacefully protest.

To my knowledge, not a single mayor or governor was decrying people from coming into their states and communities and joining in local peaceful protests. They are decrying rioters, looters, and arsonists coming in from out of state to raise Hell, rob, and destroy their communities.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: Protesters are not the same thing as rioters, looters or arsonists.

I encourage all Americans to protest tonight! We need to come in full force. The police need to understand who we are!
 
"Us and Them". There is a fundamental tribal mentality to make humans think in terms of "us" and "them" which is useful for politics. It was used by Nazis to make Jews "them", it was used by Republicans to make left-wing Americans "them" in the red scare, it's used to make black Americans "them", it's used by cults, only trust the people in the cult.

This is why political leaders constantly look for "threats" to use to build their own support, to create fear to get people to look to them for 'protection'.
