Found on reddit. I’m told the reason for their visit is to intimidate the Haitian immigrant community there.

    Them having rifles cannot be solved without vastly different gun laws in the U.S.

    They absolutely should be prevented from causing harm. I just don’t these particular people (based solely on this photograph) should be thrown in the gas chambers already.

    We should do much, much more to prevent them acting on their beliefs. We’re not out of peaceful options yet.

    I don’t think their beliefs should be protected, and if they’re inciting violence, nether should their words. They’ve broken the social contract. We don’t need to tolerate their actions. But an immediate jump to violence also breaks the social contract. It is incredibly frustrating and nearly impossible to stay on the right side of history when these are the people you’re up against.

    There are many, many, many things these people are doing that already deserve consequences. Those consequences must include reprogramming. They must include limiting access to guns and social pressure to communicate how wrong their views are.

    But again, what’s in the photograph doesn’t justify vehicular manslaughter—no matter how sweet that revenge would be.
