I'm going to be honest, I used to feel that exact way, but then looking at the way the cops treated unarmed BLM protestors vs. the way they treated armed Proud Boys counter-protests made me feel... a little bit less clear about that feeling. I wouldn't call it a clear feeling one way or the other, and I'm appalled at the idea of crossfire at what ought to be a non-violent protest, but it's hard for me to take an absolutely pacifistic stance anymore.

Uh, there might be another reason for that difference. In fact that difference might explain why the Proud Boys felt comfortable packing.
