WAGON WHEEL – Bryce Provance scratches combat formations into the dry earth as four others – camouflaged in bulletproof helmets and vests – watch intently.
Each man holds a high-powered rifle tight to his body with a pistol and several magazines often ready on his hip.
You would never guess it by looking at them, but they’re thousands of miles from the nearest battlefield.
These are members of the New Mexico Civil Guard, the group that made international headlines for its heavily armed presence at an Albuquerque protest that culminated in a shooting last month.
“The world is a scary place and, it seems like, if you don’t have friends with weapons – you better find some,” Provance, ... founder, told the Journal. “So we decided we want to protect our communities, we want to be an auxiliary force.”
He later added, “We go out and train, we learn cool stuff, then we barbecue on Fridays.”
It was their first get-together since the June 15 incident, when tensions rose between the Civil Guard and protesters who were trying to topple the statue of Juan de Oñate near Old Town before Steven Baca – a counter protester – shot and critically injured Scott Williams after a scuffle.
Since then, authorities have condemned the group’s actions even though the guard says it was not there to instigate and had “no clue” who Baca was.
Frank Fisher, an FBI spokesman, said the agency doesn’t designate hate groups and will “not confirm or deny” whether the agency is investigating the group.
Kia Russ, an organizer with Black Lives Matter, considers NMCG a hate group.
Russ said the group – with its guns, armor and posturing – is a prime example of “white male fragility” emboldened by the likes of President Donald Trump.

This and other groups were formed after the media reporting of the Floyd episode including the expansion of the BLM political movement. When it was reported as a racial incident which it wasn’t which is why I present it this way.

The democrat controlled media deliberate miss portraying the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period
Kia Russ, an organizer with Black Lives Matter, considers NMCG a hate group.

I wouldn’t be more shocked if the SPLC said it themselves.
Question for anybody: Is that old communist Morris Dees still with the SPLC?
Whiskey and Cigars,
Hell Yes!
Thanks for the tip but you might as well tell me to become a tangerine. Not a clue what you're talking about.

Why do you say wow?
Are you a liberal or leftist or something?
BLM is a love group? No one else matters except their members ..to say otherwise is racist.
UT
BLM considers “abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz” to be racist.
The word racist means nothing anymore.
If this group was harassing a Black family unprovoked, they
got what they deserved.
They sure love to publish racism when Whites are perpetraring
it, but boy do you have to dig to find the race of the perps
and victims if Blacks were the perps.
It is good to know that there is a functioning militia out there. They may provide the core of the reaction when it becomes unavoidable.
Stalin et al’s lives certainly did matter, though not beneficially to anyone but Stalin et al.z
Yep.
Is Logan could have been black lives also matter. But they chose black lives matter
That is correct. Police forces in the big cities and some smaller towns as well as state police and the feds will be all on the other side until well into the fight.
So these armed militiamen retreated when a vandal brandished a pickaxe!?
Not good.
Pickaxe???
I don’t know,
Perhaps.
But I’m stealing
You’re Tag line!
Uh, No, Matthew Reisen They are not. Haven't you been paying attention? Every large city, and a lot of smaller ones are battlefields, even if mostly only one side is shooting so far.
