I have never understood this bit of americana. How is standing on the front porch in the dark, being a well-lit target, with a gun that can fire a single round, be a sound policy? What prevents him from getting shot from someone who's beyond the light's glare?

It isn't as if the KKK had an honor code where they would do their thing in full view.

This man would never hide like you or I would.

This man was ready to die for what was right unlike you or I would.
