Have you heard of the concept of disarming to maintian order till it can be restored. Yeah the citizens will get their guns back and the NG might I stress might have oversteped their bound (but I doubt it.. they did what they had to do to maintain the safety of the public overall) It is a learning incident.

You know that statement unmasks you for what you are. I won't even comment on that. It is unnecessary. It speaks for itself.

If you hate any soldiers on this soil you hate them all.. and from Myself as a Navy Veteran

Funny I was in the Navy as was my father. Also the logic that I cannot condemn one person or unit without condemning every is ludicrous. Are you drunk?

I advise that you think before you critize any branch of the military for their actions based on information deseminated to us by the media. you have shown your lack of understanding of the constituion and how a democratic society works

After your first statement this one appears even more idiotic.

Yep, when I read a 10:30 PM safety inspection...I just started laughing. Its obvious that these Coast Guard guys were up to something else. And it wouldn't surprise me if they on a robbery and surveillance advance trip. Check out the vessel and know how they would react when you come to rob them in a week or two. This is like having the sheriff come out to your house and want to do a safety inspection of your car in the garage...at midnight.

So now the Coasties were casing the boat for a return trip to steal stuff?

"Screw the Coast Guard, National Guard, NOPD etc. They proved what they were all about when they got an Unconstitutional Order to seize citizens guns and followed it. Unlawful orders are not to be carried out. They are jackboots - they will do whatever they are told."

"You will fit in well here now that the site has been taken over by neocons and the talibornagains. This site used to be dedicated to the Constitution - you wouldn't have been able to understand what people were talking about then."

zot.

That didnt hurt a bit, did it?

[BykrBayb]

That's a good clip, but your tagline sort of defeats the purpose this time.

I tend to agree with the article – a bit unusual for me. We have a fairly large Coast Guard presence in this area – a major school at Yorktown, search and rescue, buoy tenders – and port security. For some strange reason the port security branch has drawn the type of people who gravitate to SWAT teams. I know they have to be aggressive. I know they have to be alert. I also know some would think it a great idea to expand their normally boring duty with a few “safety inspections” – and late night is always a great time to roust people.

I am not too sad to see him go, but we all know he'll be back.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Port Security types are only reservists, weekend warriors. They tend to be more agressive on boardings, etc because they are only coasties a couple days a month. Regular coasties, in general, do what they have to do with a smile and the safety on.

FReerepublic can attract some real nutbars.
