The last time I was at a National Guard armory, I didn’t see many teenagers. The demographics of the Guard has changed substantially since Kent State. Remember, most of them have had at least one deployment to Iraq and/or Afghanistan.

True. I was in a Howitzer Battery in 1984. All of our unit was prior service vets with at least 3 years active behind us. Most were four year and over prior service. The youngest guy I worked with in Ammo was in his late 20's like me.

Too bad it’s always the Republicans who are stuck cleaning up all the messes.

The cops are over militarized. Heck they are better equipped then the national guard will be.

In terms of D and R I don’t think the anarchy and violence on the streets of Ferguson is in the best interests of the Democrats prospects nationwide.

Obama and his agents are getting what they want - chaos. Marxist Cloward Piven strategy to collapse the system before it can be rebuilt into their communist dream. How many provacateurs are being sent into Ferguson from Leftist front groups and how many of them are being paid by the Federal government through grants or other indirect means, I wonder?

So what happens now if my house is burglarized in Ferguson? Or if I am car jacked? Or assaulted?

Does the NG investigate? I heard the police were de-authorized.

It happened once, but this time the media WANTS a race war.

Yes, but it's getting ahead of their agenda; it's about 6-7 weeks too early.

Actually I saw the crowd more than once drop the dime on trouble makers.

Too early for what? Elections? It could last through elections.

You think this is the same country, with the same electorate as it was in the 60’s?

You would be surprised how a little riot will affect the electorate. The Blacks still just make up 13% of the population. Although the white majority has shrunk in percentage, the new Americans (legal and Illegal), don't owe the Blacks anything. I don't think they will appreciate their neighborhoods getting burned down.

What's the old saying - A Conservative is a Liberal who has been mugged?

I'd like to see a lot of Liberals get mugged over the next few months.

It is right on time. The final stage is the rise up of the lower class, generally violently. In fact, the head provocateur is instigating protests in DC. Sharpton needs to be arrested. Are they working to have martial law in place before Nov.? Could very well be that race violence would intimidate most GOP voters to just stay home. Flash back to those panthers outside a polling location...

The point is instead of sitting home which is he usual pattern in of year elections this motivates blacks and a lot of low information voters in the RAT base to show up to keep Evil Racist Tea Party Republicans from winning. Wont take much to turn close races. Like NC senate, LA senate etc etc.

Was thinking the same.
The lunatics and liberals, and race baiters were moaning about police being military to deflect attention away from the robbery, crime, and rioting.
Now the military is there

Most accurate post on here in the last week.

All this talk about cops being military is a diversion to take away from the crime, laws, robbery rioting, and looting.

The attack on the cops is also the agenda of the Dems to get the blacks out to vote.
I’d have thought even the most common non political person would have seen this by now, but alas no.

Some want no cops and hate cops because they want their drugs legal, speed and cut people upon the road, have sex with anything, and do what ever they want.

Course we know most of those people will be crying for law and order after a week or thugs rampaging through their neighborhoods

right now, teams of democrats are focus grouping message mems to see what from this series of events they can use to motivate their base into coming out in November.
It’s an opportunity.

“I would be surprised if he doesn’t allow them to have ammo...”

I would wager a steak dinner that they won’t be packing ammo. And, their rules of engagement will be so stringent that should anyone even fart they will be court martialed. Btw, anyone know what unit(s) are called up?
