Protecting them from who?
PROTECTING THEM FROM WHO???
Actually the psychology behind this is brilliant! Man must have an education in marketing!
He should be fired if he’s suggesting Antifa should be protected while destroying federal property and harming federal workers. He should be charged with sedition
In this context his statement seems to be saying he will use his local military forces to aid the insurgents against law enforcement conducting arrests.
A black weight lifter at the gym was hired by Obama’s protest movement. He was trained to get in people’s face and provoke them into throwing a punch. Then they were to “beat the shit” out of them. They had training classes including lawyers. The lawyers were on site and on standby to bail them out. He said the money was more than he’d ever made and he couldn’t turn it down.
President Trump issued an Executive Order designating Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. Brigadier Gen Gronewold should be asked if he is aware of this Executive Order and accepts this designation.
“you’re also service members who took an oath to support and defend the Constitution and follow the orders of the President and the Governor,” Gronewold wrote. “That oath doesn’t come with an asterisk that says, ‘Only when I agree with the mission.’”
Nothing controversial being said.
Note that this traitorous DBag calls his troops the home team — with no mention of local coppers.
Once called up, Federalized, they can only protect Fed facilities and troops. They cannot enforce local laws. So, there is nothing “home” about them. Sure, they cannot just fire into crowds — that is not protection until after the crowd fires into them.
If he stays in command of any troops called up, then state rebellion needs to be called, insurrection. Time for martial law. You will know this is imminent if Fed troops show up in the state capitol.
That General works for the Governor so Trump cannot fire him, so the very obvious solution is to bring active Army troops down from Ft Lewis Washington to handle the mission. There are about 40,000 soldiers at Ft Lewis ready, willing and able to accomplish the mission.
For most observers Oregon is an enigma. Some background. In the nineteen sixties, coinciding with the war in Viet Nam, many Southern California and New York state liberals, sent their kids west to school at the University of Oregon. Out of state tuition was cheap, and it seemed a good place to dump the family fack-ups. The dummies either led the crusade againt the war in Viet Nam, or followed along. By 1968 there were two hotbeds of Marxist revolution: Eugene, Oregon, and the upper east side of New York City. The brats graduated, but did they return to their homes. Hell no. They stayed on in Oregon, where living was cheap and homelessness was a payoff. And like a cancer they metasticized. Oregon youth, being somewhat ignorant of what was happening, capitulated. Thus, today to find an Oregonian who can claim an indigenous heritage prior to 1965, people actually accustomed to work for a living, you have to go out to eastern Oregon. Should the well armed Antis, the real Antis being sent to Portland, be asked to replicate Kent State, there will be few to mourn the killed, and that includes their their parents — the pot smoking post World War II generation that whelped the most miserable generation this nation has ever known.
