If they are "disquieted" by others exercising their U.S.-given rights, let them fence themselves off somewhere and butcher each other. I'm sure the law-abiding black majority would be thrilled.

Meanwhile, aren't integration and equal rights about everyone having the same rights everywhere? If someone wants to walk around with a gun for some reason as long as they don't kill someone, why not?

The local business owners white AND black welcome the law abiding, God fearing, heat packing Oath Keepers who stand guard at their businesses and keep the peace.

Yeah because the guys just standing around are the problem given all the looting rioting and drive by shootings?

You have some rather curious views as to what the real problem is.

I can see what that person was saying, those Oath Keepers are most certainly a huge problem FOR THE LOOTERS as they're interfering with their constitutions rights to shop at the 100% off sales...

I wonder what your neighbors think about it. Your opinion takes us all the way up to one. In our neighborhood discussions, we (including black families who moved here to get out of the hood) would welcome that sort of help. Having said that, our 'hood' has a good handle on having family resolve to keep things in order.

I must assume that all the family’s living in this neighborhood feel secure and happy. We are very diverse, and most have lived here for more than 10 years with some of us over 30 years. Of course we have some job transfers that relocate after 3 to 5 years. I know of not one that would want these clowns walking around.

Sounds like mine. Question ... do you live near a city that has many shootings/murders? It might be the difference between the places we live.
