read the article. one man in the Oathkeepers wanted to arm the protestors. he was met with massive resistance from the other leaders and members of the group and eventually he either quit or was kicked out and the head of OK put out a video attacking his character and claiming he was a wife abuser.
this is an antigovernment group that had pointed guns at federal agents at the bundy ranch. when the dude wanted to march with blacks at ferguson, the leaders of the Oathkeepers declined and instead advocated working with local authorities.
so the group that portrays itself as a check on govt overreach and has resisted the govt at every other event, preferred to work with the govt rather than allow black ppl to exercise their 2nd amendment rights and march alongside them.
the guy in the article, the guy that you are confused about, was absolutely gobsmacked that at the resistance he faced and the realization that he had joined a racist right wing group genuinely floored him.
he proly should get the "raised by wolves" award.
