      I don’t know what to say other than I don’t trust fellow yanks with guns who I don’t know. I wouldn’t have gone wild west on anyone like the “peacekeepers” did but I’m not going to be able to tell at a glance that someone wearing all black is a “good guy”

        Well I’m sure there were about 500 armed people at that march alone, Utah is open carry. I personally approve of demonstrations of armed force at our protests, although I think it should be more regimented and disciplined than anarchists meandering around with their own guns

          Yeah, I don’t doubt there were lots of guns out that day, but I 100% agree with you that if you’re going to open carry at a protest like this, do it with an organized group. Not blaming this particular individual for getting shot or getting others shot, but I think the confusion is understandable
