Armed bikers protesting existance of Phoenix mosque outnumbered by counterprotest

On the 30th of May, armed motorcycle gang members staged an anti-Islamic rally outside a mosque in Phoenix, Arizona. They showed up with semiautomatic rifles and full military gear to draw offensive cartoons while police kept them apart from a larger group of counterprotesters. Many have remarked that the National Guard would probably have opened fire if African-American protesters against police brutality in Baltimore had shown up carrying similar weapons.

Once again, the distinction between "peaceful protesters" and "rioters" is determined by the political content of the protest, not by the weapons carried or the behavior of the protesters. To show up armed in front of any facility with a message that both that place and the people inside have no right to exist can only be considered a declaration of war and/or a terrorist threat.
