Lemons: Gun-Totin' Left-Wingers Demonstrate at the Arizona Capitol: Is Bloodshed on the Horizon?

===================================
Hey, lefties with guns, that's cool.
At least, that was my first impression upon seeing about 40 or so assorted anarchists, Brown Berets, and members of a group calling itself the Phoenix John Brown Gun Club across the street from the state Capitol, openly armed to the proverbial teeth.
I was late to the pro-Trump "Make America Great Again" march, which began at Cesar Chavez Plaza after some confusion about the demonstration's starting at the now past-tense "Patriots Square Park" and ended at the lawn of the Arizona Capitol.
So I headed straight to the Capitol, but the pro-Trump event was petering out. One of the cops present told me that the MAGA march consisted of a group of about 100.
However, across the street, on the Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza-side of 17th Avenue were the left-wingers, some of them masking their faces, some not. Many of them were armed with long guns. You know, just like the "patriot" groups.
While I was taking photographs of them, a woman approached me and told me that the group would not be granting interviews. She gave me a flier with a statement from something called the "Redneck Revolt," which according to the flier aims to "put the RED back in redneck."
The flier directed people to a Facebook page and a website, and the woman said that I could contact them after the fact to ask questions.
About that time, the group lined up, double-file, and began walking toward 19th Avenue.

Clickbait.
Do the “right wing militias” of which he speaks so disparagingly wear masks?
Ping.
Most in the John Brown Gun Club are carrying sticks.
Dismiss it as you will. The whole point is that the Left is arming up.
They have always been willing to use violence and they are pretty good at organized violence. Up to now it has been mostly street vandalism, fists, and minor blunt weaponry.
That is changing. The indicators are clear and they are visible in a number of different states now.
Plan accordingly.
Amen. We’ve always been a divided country and there is no way the leftards will ever play nice. One side has gotta go..
It will take only one excitable dammed fool in that group to start a massacre.
Excitable dammed fools are the stock-in-trade for every Leftist group. It is to be hoped that their leadership cadres will very carefully screen anyone they allow to attend armed events.
They won't be able to control who gets burned if a fire starts.
Can’t read what I can’t get to.
Wearing brown shirts? Really?
Excitable fools are a given in every crowd. It’s human nature.
A spontaneous firefight between demonstrations would be short and lopsided. And there’s no way of predicting the winner.
But a cluster of militants like that shown in the photos would be a target rich environment for a properly planned ambush.
Wow.... a P-90.
The tattooed guy with the red beard is probably FBI/ATF.
“Liberty”?
Who are they kidding? Liberty is the LAST thing pinkos want.
L shaped.
They don’t scare me.
Not at all.

Want to disburse them quickly? Throw a box of soap flakes in the middle of the “rent-a-mob” and turn on the fire hose.
