What are they supposed to do, just start blasting because there's a group of racist loud-mouthed idiots outside? Even states with the strongest self-defense laws don't allow you to shoot someone for being a fucking asshole. There has to be an imminent danger of severe injury or death before you are allowed to fire or even brandish a weapon. No telling what people in their homes we can't see are doing. If it were me, I'd be inside and out of sight, but heavily armed and watching closely. Standing in the street holding a weapon gives these people exactly the optics they want for a race-baiting media spectacle. Don't let your readiness to fight be known until it is time to fight. When the time comes, strike hard and fast. Speed, surprise, and violence win fights, not grandstanding and threats. My weapon will never be seen until the barrel is flashing.
