there have been plenty of marches with lots of legally armed guys without street violence. Patriot Prayer isn’t fascist either, as far as I can tell at a glance.

“Gibson denies this, saying the group is neither white nationalist nor alt-right and that they support "freedom, love and peace".[22] The group's stated aim is support of the First Amendment, free speech and to "liberate the conservatives on the West Coast".”

Now you can roll your eyes and say this is a lie but I’m going to continue rolling MY eyes at the argument that this guy is a fascist who’s ready to engage in urban warfare

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.

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

Like do you honestly think they were planning on going Paddock on a protest but peacefully dispersed when someone called the cops?

I certainly don’t trust the cops when they say “a cache of guns”

it'd be one thing if the cops had rushed to a press release, but in this case, where it only came out later? Seems valid to assume they were, if anything, trying to minimize the news instead of blow it out of proportion.
