They state they are there to protect someone from infowars.

Infowars, "conservative"...?
I guess... If in current American political nomenclature, batshit crazy, right-wing CTers are "conservative".
Didn't realise Alex Jones had his own paramilitaries though. That's a scary twist.

I guess they think that is as close as they can get to fighting a zombie invasion.

Gotta have some use for those fancy weapons.

I'm embarrassed for the black community in America, they look stupid in Ferguson and stupid in most instances running their mouth everywhere.. Trying to blame their condition and communities behavior on other people, trying to make political careers out of unproductive bs. Go open a business and quit yelling like you were raised by a crack head. That said, I'm also embarrassed for 'fiercely anti-government conservative' white Americans.. They don't understand corporate propaganda, and they listen so closely to it that their brains stop working. If the 'destroy Ferguson and blame others for it' movement were to spread into areas where urban cancer hasn't already turned the streets and culture into a sad joke, then by all means open fire and get them out. But I can't justify protecting a conservative journalist in this fashion in ferguson, because conservative journalism has done as much to damage America over the last 10-15 years as the loser loud mouths in Ferguson.

So who is more delusional.. 'Info wars' or 'black lives matter.' Absolutely no question they are both delusional and pretending things are there causing problems that are not, but who is MORE delusional??? Hmmmm.. Pretty close. They keep having that cross eyes black dude on cnn who thought that the yelling crack heads at the Sanders rally were justified, so I will say the black studies professors and rioters are more dangerous at the moment with their laughable delusion, but the level of idiocy is probably similar in both groups.

Some black pastors who are "true Christians" need to get in there and help keep the peace.

How about this kid and his little sister from Charleston, SC whose mother got shot by that racist Dylan Roof? Send this kid in ASAP! He's more man than 100 Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons put together. He puts the rioters to shame.

You know, people throw the term racist around on these boards a lot, but it takes a special someone to come into a thread about a bunch of crazy white ct'ers armed up for the race war..... and the first thing out of your mouth is a bunch of black people are the problem bullshit.

'So closely to it' - I can't edit.


I equally bashed a certain % of white Americans in that post. If you don't want the truth, close your eyes and don't read it.

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

Are they breaking any laws? if they are there to protect that media outlet, "info wars" then so what?

hell, if I was a journalist venturing into Ferguson I would want armed protection too.

Hard to tell why these guys were there...it would seem to me they'd be on the side of the citizens demonstrating their constitutional right to assembly...and opposing the government (police) trying to control the population. The quotes in the stories I've read don't seen to make sense...protecting a journalist from infowars? What does that even mean?

Ironically however, it might just go to highlight exactly what the Ferguson folks are up in arms about. Think about if 4 local black Fergunsonites showed up with AR's and all the rest of this para-military stuff (legally carrying, but guns on full display, etc)...how would that have gone down? Apparently law enforcement completely ignored these white fellas...would a black coalition with a similar agenda have been treated the same? Maybe, maybe not.

 

[Amerikuracana]

'Blame it on others' movement.. Sorry.

 

[Toastytoy]

ehhh let them guard who they want, stop the outrage machine.

Well statistics would tell you the black citizens would be more likely to shoot at each other and commit murder in that area. Sorry about that being the truth, but white neighborhoods where everybody owns guns don't have multiple shootings constantly and little kids getting shot in driveby's etc.. Police tend to pick up on these trends and adjust their awareness accordingly. I guess we should all just ignore the reality of who is shooting who more often. I think in THIS case the Police were not happy with these fellas showing up.

Honestly, if they were there to legit protect a journalist,then bless them. Streets in Amerjca need to be safe for people, non criminal people...

This fkn phone man.. Sorry again for the typos.

Apparently they were there last year protecting businesses.

Sound like a bunch of vigilante fantasists to me.

Again, any journalist, especially a white one going into Ferguson would be wise to have armed escorts. I don't see the controversy.

 

[TheFirstEMP]

Ya these guys are the real troublemakers amirite?

Group of armed citizens stood outside one of their buildings to protect it during the riots last year. Police told them to stand down and so they did. That building was burned down.

Trump is a birther and the leading conservative candidate.

Well, they'd already abused "liberal" of any real meaning, so I guess it's time to turn on "conservative".
