(7,941 posts)60. I don't consider them or their allies a laughing matter
and I don't believe they weren't armed. In fact, in the first articles I read, it was reported they -were- armed. That was later dropped. Knowing this group, the guns were somewhere. They want the maximum damage with the minimum effort; always.
I'm not gay, nor any of the "letters," tho I am an ally and have many friends within the groups. I am female, and these "supremacist" groups have also been tracking our marches and gatherings and beating up on us, as well. We ALL are in danger from them simply because we don't agree with their "norm." We must become each other's allies; befriend and support each other. Our very lives and civil rights depend upon it.

In other times and other places the Idaho group would be called death squads.
