Armed White Militia Descend On Ferguson
[su_publirb]
Just what Ferguson need: armed white militiamen with guns.
An Oath Keeper, who gave his name only as “John,” told Reuters that the armed men were there to protect a journalist from Infowars.com, a conspiracy website that has often attacked the “Black Lives Matter” movement.
The Oath Keepers were armed with assault rifles and sidearms; they wore camouflage and bulletproof vests.
St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said they were “both unnecessary and inflammatory” in Ferguson, notes NBC News.
Some Ferguson protesters asked the Oath Keepers why they were allowed to carry their weapons in public. One Oath Keeper said, “Open carry is open carry.”
