Heavily armed 'Oath Keepers' inject new unease to riot-hit Ferguson
 

FERGUSON, Mo. (Reuters) - Four civilians carrying military-style rifles and sidearms patrolled a riot-torn street in Ferguson, Missouri, early Tuesday, saying they were there to protect a media organization but drawing swift criticism from police and protesters alike.

The appearance of the four men, all white, quickly drew stares in the mostly black neighborhood, which exploded into violence again on Sunday night as protesters marked the police killing of an unarmed black teen a year ago.

The men identified themselves as part of a group called "Oath Keepers," which describes itself as an association of current and former U.S. soldiers and police who aim to protect the U.S. Constitution.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit civil rights organization, has described the "Oath Keepers" as a "fiercely anti-government, militaristic group," and St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar condemned their appearance in Ferguson.

"Their presence was both unnecessary and inflammatory," he said, adding that police would work with county prosecutors to see if the men had broken any laws.

Led by a man who gave his name only as John, the group, whose members wore bulletproof vests and carried sidearms in addition to combat-style rifles, said they had come to protect a journalist from the conservative "Infowars.com" Web site.

"There were problems here, there were people who got hurt. We needed to be prepared for that," said the man, who noted that Missouri state laws generally allow the open carrying of heavy weapons of the kind that his group were brandishing.

InfoWars could not be reached for immediate comment.

Ferguson has seen months of violent protest since the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a white police officer a year ago. Sunday night's protests were punctuated by gunfire, with police shooting and critically wounding a man who they said had opened fire on them.

Monday's protests were less chaotic, with about nine people arrested in skirmishes with police that saw protesters throw rocks and bottles at officers.

i think these guys were there at the start of the last protests, but were quickly tuned out as events occured

i want to see them walk south side chicago :2 cents::2 cents:

I'd like to see an air strike on south side chicago.

i bet you would old ass beeyatch

so what is the complaint? That they had weapons or that they were white?

the guns and where they were. rednecks skipping pass law enforcement. you know the type. mindshaken will avoid this.

Doesn't sound like they were breaking any laws. Why don't they worry about the idiots firing guns off willy nilly near innocent people holding news conferences.

The idiot cops sure don't seem able to prevent it.

dodge and deflect. there's no black problem in ferguson, just a white problem.

that is an issue the mayor takes care of not the police. he's/she's their boss :2 cents::2 cents:

but the guns are legal aren't they? And "where they were", you advocate no go areas in the US for white people?

no!! now you are making up shit :1orglaugh walk without assault rifles! if another race does this it's labeled some kind of terrorist act. testing this theory could result in death. imagine four muslims doing the same. :2 cents::2 cents:

The mayor instructs the police on how to respond to reports of gunfire? Does the mayor have some sort of tactical / military training?

You are clown of the clowns.
This "incident" with "rednecks" is like 1% of what "blacknecks" did 1 year ago.
You did not even condone "blacknecks" and their animal behavior, yet you bulshit about this 1/100th of the incident :1orglaugh

ps: I am being generous with this being whole 1% :)

I'm not making anything up, according to the report YOU posted they were doing nothing legally wrong. So if they were allowed to be there by law and allowed to carry those weapons then its a non-story. As no blacks died because of this, i can only assume that you posted it because your (already very low) standards are slipping.

Fuckin wannabees. Don't these jerk-offs have jobs?

So once one of them shoots somebody, because we all know they're scared little boys who will shoot at the first sign of a threat -- what will happen to that guy? Jail? I hope so.

I wish they had pass to shoot every looting porch monkey there was.

They don't look muslim to me...

LOL @ little bitch

:1orglaugh Im thinking his shithole looks a lot nicer than your trashed hood shack

i love how the idiots still describe Brown as an unarmed teen instead of as a criminal that attempted to disarm a cop a couple times after committing other crimes.

You just went from race to religion

ok just make them non white. that better??

Justice for Brown? How about 3 to 5 in state prison?!

Das rasis. :2 cents:

so anyone but whites? REALLY?

Fucktard is obsessed with race. He doesn't have balls to do it face to face so he does it here.

black guy takes an assault rifle to the airport to drop off daughter... what you think will happen?? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I think some Infowars guys are around me, stickers and graffiti as well as wet sidewalk drawings of the website are everywhere in about a mile radius here...

Why would anyone want to take an assault rifle to an airport? Are you saying black people are stupid? No one I know would take an assault rifle to the airport, any race!

Going topless in many places is legal but no one does it, let's work on that first.. :upsidedow

Liberal anti white plague those are :2 cents:

you boil everything down to race! who do you think is at the head of everything?? (for now)

most ironic post ever on gfy :1orglaugh

Dumbest argument ever. Everybody knows that Muslims carry AK47s, not AR-15s. Sheesh!

my two 9's.... id dust his ass :2 cents::2 cents: b4 he grabbed that shit. he's a fukin retard! close combat you dont use long guns!! he's a big ass joke!!

Brassmonkey talks a lot of shit. He called me a bitch saying I would never tell him what I thought of him to his face. Of course, i was in his town 2 days later and he was oddly MIA, losing many 10's of pennies in sig revenue.

I wasn't mad.

I didn't want to fight him or anything weird.

This video I made in Phoenix shows that I had the best intentions...

man you are a stalking nut. i made a police report. they are trying to find out who you are. pm me your contant info. you a pussy? lets find out.

haha.. you are unreal. You called the police to tell them that the guy who you called a bitch that would never tell you what he thought of you to your face asked if you wanted to meet because he happened to be passing through Phoenix?

You are so full of fucking shit and such a whiney bitch.

One minute you are talking about "my 9mm's" and shooting someone... the next minute you are talking about crying to the police. Not a Crip move at all!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You have to be the biggest fucking pussy to ever post on this forum. There's no way you're not fake. You are an old woman or someone with some sort of learning disability who can't find a job or keep a job. You can't be anything like the person you want people to think you are. You try to sell sig views for fucks sake. Over a decade here and you try to live off a sig. You must be some sort of mentally ill idiot in a group home or felon in a halfway house or something.

There is just no other rational explanation at this point.

Yet, the vast majority of US SWAT teams and our Special Forces units long guns for CQB. hmm.

hahahahahahas.

By the way dickhead, why don't you just give me the fake cops name so i can call him about your fake police report? I'll call your new fake friend first thing in the morning.

Of course, you can give me his name... you know, if you're not lying as usual.
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

give me the info if you are not afraid. :2 cents::2 cents: let them check you out.

Give me the cops name... i'll call him right away. Then i'll send him every "shoot all the fucking pigs" post you ever made. I'm sure he'll want to talk to you a bit more after that.

You are fucking dumb man. Damn.


And i'll show him where you claimed to be a member of a violent street gang which is also a crime. The Phoenix Gang Unit will be at your home soon after. Please don't go anywhere.
