Instead of reacting with terror, get out and organise to stop them. Fear leads to learned helplessness, which is the only way such a small minority can cause so much damage. If we’re out in the streets to face them down, they’ll quickly slink back under the stones they normally hide under.

The two aren’t mutually exclusive. You can be terrified and still join counter protests.
And I also can’t fault anyone for not feeling able to put themselves in the same location as violent racists.
