On Monday night, as a smattering of protesters continued to remember the anniversary of Michael Brown's death, a group of four white men carrying assault weapons walked onto the streets of Ferguson.

They might have looked familiar to veterans from last year's protests in Missouri. The heavily armed people in flak jackets are from a "patriot" group called the Oath Keepers. It is an organization of soldiers, police officers, firefighters, and veterans — the group claims 30,000 members — that is deeply suspicious of President Obama, and preparing to fight the federal government in the unlikely event that it declares martial law. The organization was founded in 2009 by former paratrooper and Yale Law School graduate Stewart Rhodes, who campaigned for Ron Paul in 2008 and has described a certain 2016 presidential candidate as Hitlery Clinton. Around 2010, when tea-party rallies speckled state capitols across the country, he was a frequent guest of conservative-television pundits.

They weren't there for the leftwing rioter-friendly Obama media:
"Oath Keepers told reporters on the scene that they were there to protect journalists from InfoWars." (From the Article)
“What’s an Assault Weapon? The Rifles the Cops carry?”
Never mind that. What’s a “right wing journalist”?!
Inflammatory language much? Doubtless similar language was printed in Britain around 1776?
We are not for any one candidate. That is not our mission.
Real “freedom fighter” is on the left, the Oath Keeper.
Their leaders: chiefs, sheriffs etc... sold their soul to political correctness to get the job.
