I don't know who the guy was who he was referring to, but almost by definition, he isn't a libertarian. There is nobody who should be subjected to threat of mob violence and in which that mob should expect that if that person is able to defend themselves with arms, that they won't take them up. In my opinion, anyone who turns their back on that premise, isn't just not libertarian, he isn't a logically thinking person.
I support free speech, assembly and peaceful protest, so there shouldn't be armed citizens confronting people who are peacefully protesting. However, certainly if they are confronted by a mob, they must not just capitulate and sacrifice their lives or risk to their health, to appease some misguided ideology. That goes against our very nature.
