Yep, let’s just pull back the evil professional police forces and let these guys take over for a while right? I’m sure it will work out just fine...

Where Some See Fashion, Others See Politics
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/11/fashion/shows/11KAFFIYEH.html?_r=0

According to Professor Swedenburg and others who have studied the history of the kaffiyeh, it was originally the headwear of Palestinian peasants, worn around the head and fastened in place by a band called an agal. In the insurrection against the British occupation from 1936 to 1939, the kaffiyeh became a symbol of Palestinian nationalism as well as an expression of class struggle. The insurgents forced upper-class Palestinians, who typically wore the Ottoman fez, to don the kaffiyeh to show sympathy with the fighters. The kaffiyeh rose in prominence again in the 1960s when the Palestinian resistance movement started and Arafat famously adopted it. “Above all, it’s important to remember a kaffiyeh is something to wear like a hat, to keep out the cold, keep out the sun,” said Rochelle Davis, an assistant professor of culture and society at Georgetown University’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies.

But if an older generation of Arabs still wears it as utilitarian headwear, the younger generation in the Middle East may wear it expressly to show support of the Palestinian cause, and it is also used by militants to disguise their faces. The black and white kaffiyeh is often associated with Fatah; the red and white with Hamas.

Sounds like an anti-government militia. Where’s the FBI and IRS and ATF?

We want to stop fratricide, genocide—all the 'cides."

Infanticide (abortion)?

Insecticide?

Shootings of civilians by police officers reached a 20-year peak in 2013, even as the incidence of violent crime in America went down overall. According to FBI statistics, police in the United States killed 1,688 people between 2010 and 2013. The actual number of black and brown people shot by police is almost certainly much higher, but a lack of data means that no one knows for sure how many people have been killed. Very few of America's 12,000 police and sheriff's departments report officer-involved shootings. But based on the data that has been reported, according to a study by ProPublica, young black men are 21 times more likely to be killed by police than young white men.

This "study" has been challenged.

The surviving leadership of the original Black Panther Party has also repudiated the movement for inflammatory and anti-Semitic rhetoric. Bobby Seale, a founder, speculated to me that this new incarnation of his group is a front organization funded by right-wing money, "maybe by the Koch Brothers."

Got that? The New Black Panther Party is all a big evil right-wing conspiracy designed to make black people look bad.

it's not hard to imagine that the ancestors of the white Texas gun-rights crowd were, at one point in time, instrumental in keeping black Texans disarmed and compliant

So the ancestors of today's open carry conservatives and libertarians were democrats???

If these were white people, the BATFE, FBI, and an alphabet soup of agencies would be drooling over the prospects of grabbing headlines breaking up this white (supremacist, of course) militia.

A Black supremacist militia conducting open training, not so much...

People have so little grasp of action-reaction. When do the crosses start burning?

The race war the Democrats and left have been pining for inches closer. White liberals are on the front lines and will likely, not put up much of a fight.

Darren X, the national field marshal of the New Black Panther Party

"Field Marshal"???

Why, I bet he's the very model of a modern major general ...

I liked the SKS and the decked out Hi-Point Carbine.

The weapon is not an AR-15 (.223 or 5.56mm)
The weapon in the picture is a CHEAP 9mm rifle (Hi Point 9mm Carbine) and the SKS is a CHEAP Chinese produced 7.62 rifle carried by NVA or Viet Cong troops back in the day...The sports rifle carried by the woman looks like a 7mm Hunting rifle - but could be a .22 rim fire...but without a closer look - who knows.

But I do know that this mob that is acting all military would lose it when chaos broke out...they would demand respect by poking a barrel in your face - the same thing they are protesting and claiming police officers are doing...

And what’s with the Colonel rank...”amatures are dangerous” hour is seems...

Hardly “military discipline.” They are out of step in every photo.

Rotflmao!!! Check out the photo with the caption that reads “Darren X and his AR-15” and have a good laugh. It is in fact a wonderfully affordable High Point carbine. It is most likely a 995TSFG 9mm with a stock handgrip that retails for about $270 now that they have had so much press of late. They should run about $220 but they have become very popular as a reasonably reliable low end carbine.

If the media can’t do even basic research, how can we trust any aspect of what is being reported here?!?

Well you baited me with that line about tragi-comic photos.

I think my favorite was Tina Gonzalez.

"Tina González of the Indigenous People's Liberation Party"

So - Who gets the task of explaining to Tina that her surname (not to mention her Castillian profile) are about as far from "indigenous" as a body could get.

In fact, I think Tina needs a theme song.

Iberia is calling, Tina!

I think I am starting to understand:

Arresting blacks is racist, regardless of the crime. Blacks want free reign to "act" as they please. "Freedom" means freedom to do any despicable act they want. Animals.

LOL! What a group of rag-tag ragamuffins!

One guy has a “Hi-Point” POS carbine, another “lady” (or is it a man—I can’t tell LOL) has an SKS.

I bet neither one has bothered to sight their “battle rifle” in once.

If the SHTF for real, these idiots would be one of the first to go.....

Will they answer domestic violence calls? Will they arrest drug dealers?
