In many cases, the vigilantes want peace . . .

Si vis pacem, para bellum [Latin for "If you want peace, prepare for war".]

YES!

Heavily armed vigilantes wielding everything from bats to rifles have started appearing at protests in places including Philadelphia, Idaho, California and Chicago, threatening to take action if things turn violent in the absence of law enforcement.

These are NOT heavily armed vigilantes, these ARE armed residents protecting their homes and businesses against mobs and terrorists (Antifa).

In many cases, the vigilantes want peace and are focused on protecting local residents and businesses from looters.

If they are peaceful and simply trying to protect their lives, homes, businesses, and property, then they aren't really vigilantes are they?

I was going down Beltway 8 in Houston today and passed 7 military humvee type vehicles
I don’t know where they were going, we have no military bases around here. But I gotta say, it made me both trepudatious and comforted at the same time. I don’t know WTH is good and WTH is bad right now.

They could be missing out on some household chemicals that will keep the looters out of their stores. All they have to do is put chlorine and ammonia in separate buckets. Put a sign on the locked door do not enter while cleaning. Then if they break a door in, kick the two containers together, and get out the back door quickly. The expanding gas, a close relative to mustard, will cover the floor inside the doors and I can promise you they will get out as fast as they can stagger. Hey, they are cleaning agents and you were just preparing for tomorrows opening if you can or using the down time to clean.

And before you mention it, there isn’t a gas mask sold to the public that can handle the stuff as the filters are not set up for it, even of they are new ones which you won’t get at the army/navy store, and I don’t think I’ve seen any up to date hazmet suits breaking window.

You can come back in a couple of hours and start your fans. But you will be alone. And your neighbor won’t care as they won’t get hit either.

When the police go from “To Protect and Serve” to “To Run and Hide”, don’t be surprised when people take up arms to defend their businesses and neighborhoods.

The vigilantes aimed to work alongside the protesters, another armed man said. 'I'm here to protect their right to free speech,' Dan Carson told the Post.

Free to speak is not Free to destroy.

Super! The bad guys have no idea of the can of whoop-ass they are opening by trying to neutralize “organized law enforcement”....when Joe Citizen decides to take the job, there will be as much mercy as a mother would afford those who attack her baby...

I love how private citizens defending their businesses are now armed vigilantes. 😆
