Found on reddit. I'm told the reason for their visit is to intimidate the Haitian immigrant community there.

I don’t understand why they have no fear of this at all. Or maybe they do, hence the guns? Anyway… it’s gross. If nothing else, there should be a parade of normal people following them around shouting stuff. C’mon.

They want to be the next Kyle Rittenhouse

Most people don't want to go to prison or be shot. Even in WWI there were many trenches who organically decided not to shoot each other. So the odds that someone would just open fire are small, even if real. That's also why armed antifascists are also comfortable enough to provide defense at marches and events.

Unfortunately these dumbasses are armed, which means they'd probably open fire if people started shouting things at them

I say this as someone who is extremely anti-gun: The "parade of normal people" would ideally be armed, too.
