They are back on the rooftops and the police are standing down.

Maybe other localities that see riots coming will learn the lesson: hire out the oath keepers (for a buck a day each - they aren’t there to make money) as se urity. These places will need to have some kind of association to do this, if something isn’t already in place, so as to combine the rights and power of all of them to resist both the statist and the rioters.

CITIZENS protecting Citizens , and their property ,
for when the FED/State/Local government won't do what they are supposed to do !
Protect citizens and their property !

[Eric in the Ozarks]

When seconds count, police are minutes away...

Common sense is outlawed in this utopia for fools.

This was an exceptionally well-written piece, which does a great job of explaining the true position of our government.

(1) "We have no obligation to protect the citizenry."

(2) "We will do everything in our power to make certain you cannot protect yourselves."

(3) "We will force you to be dependent on us, even though you cannot depend on us."

Today is a great day to end the FReepathon!

Oath Keepers involvement in Ferguson will, hopefully, be a good recruiting call.

I know several that will be looking into it, now more than ever.

[Don Corleone]

When the day comes, and it will, the ‘establishment’ will find out what people all over the world have known instinctively for centuries, that a small force of guerrillas operating when and where they choose at targets of opportunity cannot be stopped by organized armies of either police or troops. King George found that out. King Obama will learn it too.

In the old west they used to call them a posse.

[bigbob]

Now they’re called the Anti-Holders.

Founded by a libertarian Yale Law graduate, by the way. Just shows how it is wrong the stereotype.

[dead]

While accepting it is under no absolute obligation to protect citizens from harm (thereby avoiding liability for failing to protect against criminal actions), government officials constantly seek to acquire and maintain a monopoly of the means by which individuals are able to exercise their responsibility to protect themselves

Well put.

[VRW Conspirator]

The conspirator in me is concerned that these oath keepers will be infiltrated by troublemakers who want to discredit them or worse, to endanger them.

[Jumper]

The real threat is Eric Holder sending his racially charged race baiting minions to close with and destroy them... with the resulting political fallout. Then the country could be completely open to attack by rioters and looters from “Communities of Color”.

[T-Bone Texan]

Selective enforcement of laws in an attempt to terrorize and cow the populace: That is the very definition of Anarcho-tyranny.

[Verginius Rufus]

"Operating without a license" = "operating without approval from Valerie Jarrett."

The National Guard were there but not allowed to protect property on Monday night after the grand jury verdict became public, on orders from the White House.
