When the hell did the BLM get all that battle rattle for their rangers?
At our expense, how else? Gotta have their toys.
I am told by a FRiend I shall not name that the term is “Gear Queers”. :-)
My prediction is that some of the troops were actually Private Contractors simply wearing BLM patches, and based on how very badly the gummint screwed over Eric Prince that those hired PMC's were not Blackwater guys.
Some of the core goons were bearded, and I think these were men who had recently been working in the Middle East, since many locals there consider unbearded men as effeminate poofters.
My other prediction is that this gummint hostility resumed with great force after the mid-term elections in November.
It’s all issued to fight and kill the American citizens if so ordered while illegals enter the country, unchecked.
Next step is to find out if these BLM agents are locals or volunteers from others states — the latter would have less compunction to pull the trigger.
