ARMED CITIZENS MUST DEFEND THEIR COMMUNITIES FROM RIOTING MOBS IF THE POLITICIZED POLICE WILL NOT

American Partisan ^ | September 10, 2020 | Matt Bracken

[Travis McGee]

In societies living under the Rule of Law, sworn Law Enforcement (LE) officers have always been considered fully justified in applying lethal force against violent mobs during arson riots, such as those which have been occurring with regularity in American cities during the terrible summer of 2020. This was the intent and meaning of police officials publicly “Reading the Riot Act,” announcing over a loudspeaker that a violent mob had been declared to be an unlawful assembly, that is to say, a riot. Rioters who lingered on the street after that final warning could be engaged by LE at any level up to and including the use of deadly force, with no further announcement.

This was, in prior more civilized times, a basic understanding of all citizens living under the Rule of Law. This is why a police officer’s standard-issue pump shotgun was traditionally referred to as a “riot gun” long before the development of modern less-than-lethal munitions. This is also why arson riots were uncommon and short-lived. Everyone understood the ground rules. There was no right to burn, loot or murder.

Thomas Sowell put it this way: “If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.”

ABR, my own acronym for the current working coalition of Antifa, BLM and the Revolutionary Communist Party of the U.S., are now routinely using Molotov cocktails (gasoline bombs) and other incendiary/explosive devices as offensive weapons in both an anti-personnel and anti-property (arson) role. As far as the BATFE is concerned, a Molotov cocktail is an illegal explosive device, and so are powerful high-altitude fireworks, when they are deployed at ground level as anti-personnel and anti-property explosive/incendiary grenades.

ABR deliberately uses the anonymity of their black-clad and face-masked mobs to conceal the identity of their individual bomb throwers, in exactly the same way that 19th Century Ku Klux Klan night riders carrying torches on arson missions concealed their identities with white robes and masks. There is no moral or ethical requirement for either police or ordinary citizens protecting their communities from violent mobs to identify and ferret out the individual bomb throwers, when the rest of the mob is intentionally surrounding them in order to shield them from that identification. Because of the deliberately created synergy of bomb throwers utilizing the anonymity of the mob, the entire ABR mob becomes a legitimate target for police arrest or armed community self-defense.

Furthermore, at this writing in September of 2020, there is no moral or ethical requirement for a law-abiding American citizen to wait for a lit Molotov cocktail or any other incendiary or explosive device to crash through the window of their home or business, while ABR mobs are rampaging through the streets conducting arson attacks. Once the fires begin, morally and ethically, the same Rules for the Use of Force (RUF) should apply that would attach to a lynch mob, or to Ku Klux Klan night riders on their way to burn homes or businesses. Both KKK night riders bearing torches in olden times, and violent mobs of ABR terrorists with Molotov cocktails and other incendiary devices today, can and should be engaged by armed citizens with any necessary level of force required to halt their terroristic depredations.

In numerous recent cases, law enforcement under Leftist political control has repeatedly abdicated its traditional and expected role in breaking up violent riots and preventing arson and other terror attacks. Week by week, the level of ABR violence has been steadily escalating, and it’s logical to assume that it will only worsen as the hotly-contested presidential election draws near.

So let me be very clear: if Democrat Party governors, mayors and DAs have hamstrung their police for political reasons, and won’t allow them to protect the lives and property of their local citizens using all required force, abandoning their primary mission in order to bow to the ABR mob, then it is time for their undefended citizens to apply the clear intent of the Second Amendment. There should be deep regret about the abandonment of the Rule of Law by the Democrat Party political ruling class, but there should be no moral quibbles or hesitation by American citizens concerning the legitimacy of armed community self defense, in the absence of expected law enforcement protection.

Therefore, it is my carefully considered opinion that black-clad and masked ABR mobs, rampaging and terrorizing innocent citizens under the cover of darkness in the style of the KKK of old, may morally and ethically be taken under preemptive fire by armed citizens at any level necessary to drive them out of their peaceful neighborhoods and away from their businesses, before the terrorists can reach their targets and throw their Molotov cocktails and other explosive and incendiary devices.

As an historical note, it should be understood that the National Rifle Association was founded after the last American Civil War by former Union Army officers, (and Republicans at that), in order to empower freed African-American former slaves to defend themselves with firearms against KKK night raids. In the 19th Century, the Democrat Party, then allied with the Klan, (as the Democrats of today are aligned with Antifa and BLM), had favored strict gun control, in the form of narrowly written laws restricting the legal ownership of firearms by free black citizens.

The more things change…

[Travis McGee]

The faces of the Antifa/BLM terrorists don't lie.

American blacks actually HATE that white Communist "BLMs" are committing arson etc in their name.

Did you see American blacks get angry because this "BLM activist" was shot by U.S. Marshals last week? The only thing black about him was the black BLM tattoo on his neck.

No, actual American blacks did not give one damn that the police shot him dead. And they won't care when more radical white Communists are shot while burning cars and businesses.

Stop living in fear of what CNN and MSNBC might say. Even THEY didn't defend the white BLM radical who was shot.

[Travis McGee]

That will certainly come in time, but for now, actually using armed civilian defense against rampaging mobs of arsonists would be a huge step in the right direction, when police cannot or will not do their duty.

[grumpygresh]

At this point in time the police, prosecutors and judges will only serve their masters. There is no fidelity to the constitution only to the barrel of a gun.

The Milgrim experiment proves that people will follow unethical orders. The constitution and BOR rights used to unite the people of all political persuasions as well as those in government and the private sector.

Today, the constitution is only an historical document that has no effective restraint on unethical and immoral people in government.

[Travis McGee]

That may come in time, but if you wait for politicians to give you permission to defend your community from unchecked arson rioters, you will watch it burn down while doing nothing.

Remember Sowell: It’s about what YOU do.

And remember too, shotguns are effective way past molotov cocktail throwing range. Even when fired just one time from deep shadows.

[PeterPrinciple]

We essentially ran them out of town by working together.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, .................

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

The Toll :" One observation if I may, I have noted that the violence often begins under the guise of a “peaceful” march.
When a citizen presents themselves in a manner that defies the mob, they immediately fixate on that target ."

Another thing that I observed is that generally 'the front line' are folks who are, in their own minds, well-meaning demonstrators
who generally get self-hypnotized by rhythmic and repetitive verbal phrases that become "group think", and then that leads to "mob mentality".
It's the folks in the back lines that are generally the violent actors and from where most of the projectiles and various weapons materialize.
They hide in the back lines to cover their activities and identities; it is the back lines that law enforcement should fixate their attention and root out the violence.

[Mr. Jeeves]

We need legislation effectively revoking any power in local law enforcement or administration to sanction use of arms by citizens in response to the threat of mob action.

Yeah, well good luck getting that passed. This is how they have chosen to pursue gun control: "OK, so we can't stop you from owning firearms - but if you ever dare to defend yourself with one..."

[KC-10A BOOMER]

Well written and greatly appreciated. The only way we will win against these Marxist insurgents is with overwhelming force when they come to our cities or towns. Operating in the shadows with small groups of dedicated patriots using hit and run tactics should make them think twice about visiting our communities outside of the liberal sanctioned riot zones.

All I have seen from law enforcement during this uprising is a lack of will to defend their communities while obeying the unconstitutional orders of their pay masters.

[Travis McGee]

Nobody is going to shed a tear for an Molotov cocktail arsonist shot in the act. They are the perfect targets for the beginning stage of the counterattack of defending civilization vs barbarism. If you are holding a gasoline bomb, you should be shot on sight. If you light yourself on fire in the act, so much the better. I would recommend 12G turkey shot.

Watch these short videos, and then think about what should happen to ABR terrorists caught in the act of throwing a Molotov cocktail.

[Travis McGee]

It's actually a well thought out strategy.

[View from the Cheap Seats]

I know.

[CodeToad]

This is how they organize. It isn't just a single principle, they organize by roles.

Sorry this is so big but it is a large image.

It shows how ANTIFA organizes itself in its protest/riots.

[Covenantor]

Tunnel vision by the policia in the Santiago video.... and no immediate return fire...their ROE?

Was that a politician at the bedside?
Sure that visit was a big comfort../s

[stevio]

Recent events show the police will do the bidding of their paymasters

[DCBryan1]

, and there are no ballistics.

Out of the barrel and chamber yes, but they can match firing pins to primers....which is why you always carry a little steel brush, file, or pic with you to clean out all the carbon, right?

[CodeToad]

It why you don’t leave shells behind.

[Travis McGee]

I’m assuming your are collecting individual expended shells and putting them in your pocket. This is where a pump or break-open double has an advantage over an autoloader. But shell catchers can also be improvised for them, same as for ARs.

[Travis McGee]

ROE should not mean waiting for a molotov to be lit. A bottle in your hand should get a bullet.

The motorcycle cop in Mexico lit up by a “harmless water bottle” full of clear accelerant....harder to defend. But the perp should be disappeared by the cops for a long painful session before his painful death.

[myerson]

I remember way back to the 50’s when a police “riot shotgun” used shells with #11 lead shot (”riot shot”) to disperse rioters. ‘Messy at longer ranges, just plain nasty or fatal if the rioters got too close to the police.
