Hopefully the MSM will pick up on it - but I won’t hold my breath.
This is happening against military recruiting offices. The people being attacked are soldiers. Arm them to defend themselves against these evil people!

I can understand what your saying soldier dad..
But i have been retired from the military for just a hair over six months .. and I myself would be hesitant to place a weapon against American Citizens.
The charge would be assault and the soldiers, marines, airman, and sailors should only defend themselves with the proper amount of force to ensure their safety. But the government should speak up against this.. instead of giving tact approval.. the same goes for the press
