11 ‘heavily armed’ members of an extremist militia group arrested; media buries mention that they are Black

Posted on 07/04/2021 3:54:44 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Imagine if these people were White! It would be the top story all weekend, and you know it. But they are Black, so only in the 22nd paragraph of this New York Times article does the word “Black” appear.

(source)

First paragraph:

Eleven men were taken into custody on Saturday after a lengthy roadside standoff between police officers in Massachusetts and a group of heavily armed men in tactical gear who claimed to be part of a group called Rise of the Moors.

Twenty-second paragraph:

“We do not intend to be hostile, we do not intend to be aggressive,” he added later. “We are not anti-government, we are not anti-police, we are not sovereign citizens and we are not Black identity extremists.”

The New York Post was less obscurantist, but still shy. It took them ten paragraphs to get to B – L – A – C – K.

What is that red patch? Is it a red background with a yellow star? Looks Maoist.

I’m still trying to figure out exactly what these guys were doing to get arrested. Guns and tactical gear aren’t illegal. Did they brandish guns at the cops or what?

Rules of Engagement with Muslims -

If non-believing Infidels are present, Sunni sect will unite with Shi’a sect to enslave (physical, sexual, monetary) all Infidels and annihilate the rest

If no Infidels present, Sunni sect will turn against Shi’a sect and annihilate each other until there is a ‘winner’

This has not changed in the 1200 years of ever-expanding Islamic conquest.

LOL - Great catch, Travis.

The Jerusalem Post used to be a center-right newspaper, mostly for English language foreign readers.

They also publish Caroline Glick, who has been the most important Conservative, English language, Israeli columnist for almost two decades.

Massachusetts has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. You can’t even possess or buy ammo without a firearms ID card. Magazine capacity restrictions, “assault weapons” ban, etc. You can’t carry a pocket knife lomger than 2.5 inches. Carrying an unlicensed, assembled firearm, accessible within a vehicle carries a mandatory minimum jail sentence, for a first time offender, no exceptions. They’d probably been better off committing a wide variety of felonies, than carrying guns in MA.

When I travel through MA, NY, NJ and other states, I’ll UPS my weapon to my destination, rather than risk carrying it, disassembled, in a locked case, in my trunk. Just sayin’.......

Sure would be nice to have one set of federal laws, but the politicians would, inevitably, use it to restrict firearms ownership.
