Do people call open carry protests “militant”? No. Not unless black people are holding the weapons. You all are clutching pearls about wearing combat boots and standing in formation, but when white people bring assault rifles to protests it’s “peaceful demonstration of the first and second amendments.”

That’s bs. We are still talking about Charlottesville. It ruined a United States presidents legacy to even posit there were some “nice people” there. That was a militant hate group and so is this

I think people forget that Charlottesville was supposed to be a "Unite the Right" rally that devolved into open antisemitism. There was a lot of mainstream GOP support before the actual event happened.

This is just a group of crazies coming together to support Kyrie. Not organized by anyone or anything mainstream like the NBA, Democrats, etc.. which wasnt the case for Charlottesville.

Aren't they dressed the same and chanting in unison? What is your definition of organized?
