It wasn't that long ago that people warning about the risk of fascist street violence in the US were dismissed with eye rolls and warnings about the boy who cried wolf. Maybe those raising such warnings were just more perceptive than most, might be worth updating based on that.https://twitter.com/shanedkavanaugh/status/1052007616895807488 …
as long as we're rolling our eyes I find it very hard to take the argument that marching in the street with weapons displayed as a public statement is anything like the same as setting up on a rooftop with weapons seriously

Were they actually “setting up weapons on a rooftop”? If so where are you getting this info.

literally the first few paragraphs of the article linked in the tweet I quoted at the start of this threadpic.twitter.com/VMpnhUMyOF

Sorry but that’s completely inconclusive

You can hang out somewhere and that doesn’t mean you’re “stationed” there

this is approximately as plausible as a claim that gosh, that guy wasn't antifa, he was just wearing a black balaclava because it was cold on his bike ride home and that's why he was holding a u-lock, shame about how that journalist ran full-tilt into it and gashed his skull

Sorry but I strongly disagree. People at protest type events literally just hang out with their friends for long periods. It is extremely plausible that any given set of people attending such an event are just hanging out.

what specific evidence would be sufficient for you to change your mind?
-
A photo of their “setup”, a sufficiently dangerous-looking set of guns in their cache, (eg modified bump stock guns on tripods), a social media post that’s credibly from one of the specific people on the roof with an implication of plans, probably some other things
