Coeur D'Alene says

Lots of photos. Lots of calm men, some in the kit they brought home, some ladies of various cheerful vintages, and the last photo is a natty gentleman who’d set aside the jacket of his three piece suit, the better to display his tie bar, cufflinks, and pockets clearly full of spare magazines.
[ItsMac] If you ventured to downtown Coeur d’Alene, Idaho last night you would think you had entered a Militia family reunion. No one has an accurate count of how many heavily armed citizens came out to support peaceful protestors and protect local businesses and citizens against shipped in ANTIFA members but it was certainly HUNDREDS, perhaps over a THOUSAND.

“We just drove downtown Coeur d’Alene. It is packed with armed citizens. I’ve never seen so many AR-15s in my life. There’s at least a thousand armed citizens walking on the sidewalks and the streets are packed with cars and trucks with guys in the back with AR-15 and American flags everywhere. We saw two protesters wearing their little black clothing and black masks and sitting on a step quietly with their little poster board sign saying “our system sucks!” Guess why they’re being so polite.”~Keith Gibson, Coeur d’Alene resident.

Word got out that ANTIFA was going to ship in rioters to mingle with peaceful protestors in our quiet little town…and indeed they did as several white Mercedes vans were seen with dozens of people that didn’t belong in our community. It was also made known that they were planning to use the local WINCO store as their staging ground. After learning this, a well organized local group of concerned citizens set up a post in the parking lot to ensure that these unwelcomed invaders clearly understood that the citizens of Coeur d’Alene would have ZERO tolerance for any type of violence or destructive behavior in our town.

#4  Don't really have to worry about dust in Idaho. Especially in town. But yeah, seems like posturing.

Personally, baseball bats would be much more intimidating. None one is gonna an AR on punks.

#3   but why half of them have the shutter [?] on their AR-15 open?

You can shoot better in low light with the shutter open. No wait, that's cameras. Never mind.
