I was referencing Reynolds' experience of incitement being a standard Klan activity. Plus we have this lovely threat from the specific event:
"The heat is nothing compared to what you're going to get in the ovens."

I respectfully disagree. I believe the concept of "precrime" is a perversion of justice. Remember, the term was created by a science fiction writer (Philip K. Dick) in a novel about a dystopian future (short story "The Minority Report") who suffered from life long drug addiction and mental illness.
The idea that we can suspend the Constitutional freedoms of law abiding citizens because "something might happen" is anathema to our liberty.

I wasn't agreeing with you. You could not be more wrong.
Who has said they are living in fear?

One of the main things I heard was the counter groups first tried to prevent the main group from reaching the protest location in center of town. As shown in picture one fellow shooting flame has held up quite a lot of people.
We have seen this scenario played out all over the country with Trump rallies. Just getting to a meeting place can be dangerous.

Why do you feel the need to carry a gun all the time? That's fear. Gotta be armed and "protected" just to go to church. So sad.
I am a former Peace Officer.
No, that is freedom.
Yes, as a member of the church security team there are a number of us who believe our loved ones and brothers and sisters in Christ are worth protecting. If you don't, then you are free to do as you please.
Yes, your hatred of others and of our liberty, is very sad, in deed.
I'm guessing someone has never come across a moose or a bear in their church parking lot.
Gun shaming won't work on me. I simply won't be admonished for it.

I don't understand Christians wearing fire arms to protect themselves on the incredibly minimal chance that an evil person comes along. If a person is going to die, why not have it be us who are redeemed? We know that we'd be going home and leaving this foreign land. The other person would be in hell.
I tend to side with Jesus commands in the Sermon on the Mount, which is what we observed in Christianity until Augustine came up with the concept of a "just war."
The US Constitution gives every citizen the right to carry weapons, but that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do for Christians.
I won't tell anyone the can't carry, but I won't personally promote it as biblically sound.

Haters are going to hate. You just have to ignore them and turn them over to the Lord.
Perhaps we live in different parts of the country?
Me too. That is why I carry. Luke 22:36 "Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."
Sword = common defensive weapon of the time.
Pistol = common defensive weapon of our time.
No, the Constitution protects the God given right to self-defense. It is Jesus who commands it. And if Jesus commands it, it is the right thing for Christians to do.
Good. And I won't tell anyone to carry. That is a personal decision.
Jesus is pretty biblically sound.
I've had bears on my front porch getting home at night. I do not go anywhere without Mr. Springfield Armory.
It appears some people here only hate race driven violence when it comes from white people and are eager to brand BB members who point out racial violence from the left as nazi sympathizers.
Hypocrites.

I have a great Springer. Full size 1911 Mil-spec .45. Milled from billet stainless. But too heavy, when loaded, to carry all day.
He should be charged with murder. Murder is always a civil rights violation.

McAuliffe is a left wing agitator in his own right. He no doubt is delighted by the violence and eager to blame only one group.

The context of Jesus comment to take a sword is very particular to the task Jesus told the disciples to do. We later see Jesus denying Peter the act of fighting for him.Perhaps we live in different parts of the country?

Combine this with the sermon on the Mount and you have a strong argument for non-violent behavior. Now add to this that none of the Apostles and their disciples ever are recorded as fighting to save their lives and we can see a clear pattern in the early church.
What earthly treasure do we possess that is worth killing an unregenerate human to keep? I don't understand that thought process.
Are bears made in the image of God with an eternal destiny?
