as to why they brought guns, i think it is because ferguson is now somalia and tons of people cant wait to spew excuses for why it is someone else's fault.
Dude... You do realize a few protests, a couple shots fired is not "somalia" right? I hope you're exaggerating for effect.
Anyway, why are they there, is the pertinent question. It's their right to be as armed as they want. But why would a smart person show up at situation which is already tense, already prone to break out in violence? Any why would a smart person do that clearly prepared as if a conflict is a foregone conclusion?
I see two options. 1- they want the media attention for their organization or 2- they want the conflict to escalate.
Because I believe in the good of people, I'll assume they're doing it for attention. They're just willing to risk escalation to get the attention.
