They don't want to start a confrontation with these armed paranoid white nutjobs. Of course, these nut jobs are looking for a confrontation to bolster their argument that they are fighting for their freedom. If you look at these protests, you have to wonder why they are armed. Do guns really help make their point? I guess they must since the MSM can't seem to give them enough coverage.

Officials did feel differently about armed black in the 60's. Just another example of white privilege.
