Why don’t they also tell the marines to not even bother bringing their weapons with them? All weapons should be loaded with the safety on. They can keep the chamber empty as a show of good will.

"No rounds in the chamber."

Okay fine, we assume there are plenty in the mag. Right?

Otherwise, that gun is just a big metal stick. WTF.

“...don’t have rounds in the chamber...”

It don’t take much to jack a shell into the chamber...

I was stationed at 29 Palms. I was always happy to leave it.

I call BS on that too. A Marine with “No rounds in the chamber”? That does not happen ever.

I don’t like it.

———————————-

I like it. And if the terrorists start throwing S at the marines and a couple rioters get killed for it, and the fans are flamed, SO BE IT.
It’s where we are going anyway. Let’s get there sooner rather than later.

"The National Guardsmen on active duty in Los Angeles are carrying weapons but don't have rounds in the chamber, and they aren't using rubber bullets or pepper spray, according to a U.S. official."

It's difficult to discern some uniforms from another with all the video and stills, but someone shot an female Aussie reporter in the ankle or calf. Having seen the uniformed shooter highlighted in one particular video, it looks like he was aiming directly at her legs.

What the hell is going on in that city? They have their own police force including SWAT, now some 2000 National Guard and now the President has sent 700 Marines which I don't think are needed. Yet, today has been fairly quite.

What ever happened to water cannons? They used to be effective for crowd/riot control.

It’s never planned, But it could happen.
I’m hoping it doesn’t, but if it does I won’t be crying for those POS rioters.
