#1 Funny. The streets are riot torn and they want the police to see if the 4 white guys broke any laws. Now that is racial profiling.

#2 The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate group.

#3 The Oath Keepers were evidently successful. Nothing in the news about any 'Infowars' whacko's being bullied, kidnapped, or shot. Perhaps a mechanized rifle company of Oath Keepers is needed.

#4 military style? Full auto?
heavy weapons? Mortars? SAWs? Grenade launchers?

Hyperbole much?

#5 Military Style == 'Scary Looking' in the eyes of the media.

#6 At some point the media hate will turn them into targets for angry yuts. Nobody but the insurance companies wants them there, they should let Ferguson burn according to plan.

#7 When frighteningly normal folks' weapons
Are sniffed at by newshounds, what happens?
Why don't those of bangers
Or Panthers or "singers"
Provoke military-style fappings?

#9 "Their presence was both unnecessary and inflammatory," said St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar.

Really? There doesn't seem to be much governmental control in Ferguson over the rabble and thug elements. Install martial law and shoot violators of curfew on sight. Shut it down as tight as a drum; otherwise STFU. This has gone on way too long.

#10 If the government refuses to act, then it forfeits its legitimacy and power. That it fears more than towns or cities burning.

#11 Google Peel's Nice Principles of Policing.

The federal "police" are more like a Securitaté.

The Oath Keepers are vastly nearer to a police than the current lot.

#12 One thing I haven't seen reported is that the Oath Keepers were also telling the protesters "We've got your back"

Bad journalism or deliberate omission?

#13 It's our riot, not yours! Police jurisdictional dispute.

#14 Please correct me iff I'm wrong, but didn't the "OathKeepers" start out in the 1990's as a backlash or counter-response by peaceful mainstream US Males agz alleged on-going "de-masculinization(s)" of Men by US Feminazis???

"Men in support of Men + all things Manly/Malehood".

[MWC's AL BUNDY + "NO MAAM" = "NATIONAL ORG. OF MEN AGZ AMAZONIAN MASTERHOOD" here]???
