Note to Oathkeepers: Unless you have been hired by business owners as security to protect their stores or other businesses, why are you in Ferguson, MO, walking around in your battle-rattle??

I just heard them described on the radio news as an "extreme right wing, anti-government activist group."
How many of those are true?

Like attracts like. I'm sure the extreme anti-government right-wingers will find plenty of company in Ferguson with the extreme anti-government left-wingers already in the crowd.
Speaking of "stop being dicks; you're not helping", throwing frozen water bottles and firing a stolen handgun at police, and crowding Bernie Sanders out of his own event isn't helping make your cause look good either.
Place seems to be drawing the crazies.

If it's the local business owners, then OK. Otherwise, not so much.

I also heard that some shop owners asked them to come and stand in front of their shops. Walking around in the streets did not help much.

Yea big difference between static defense to protect vulnerable businesses and going on patrols. I don't think things are going to be improved by armed paramilitaries wandering through town.
