Guess What Happened When Heavily Armed White Men Roamed the Streets of Ferguson
Late Monday night/early Tuesday morning, a group of heavily armed white men calling themselves "Oath Keepers" showed up soon after police left and began patrolling the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, guns and white privilege on full display. Mind you, peaceful protestors were arrested eight hours before this for simply filming the police and two reporters were just charged with multiple crimes for not leaving a McDonald's quickly enough.
Yet these men show up in a neighborhood that's not their own with fully loaded assault rifles and we can't even find a photo of police asking them for their ID or registration. They were left completely alone. Below is a real-time account of what happened.
