I don’t get it. Why were these unarmed people advancing toward gunfire with useless shields? Are they attempting suicide by police? A wood or tin shield and a stick is of no practical use against live fire..unless they are going for martyrdom.

The local cops think they will be safe in their APCs. Well that didn’t save those poor souls when their APC was showered with fire bombs and they were cooked alive.
Other than SWAT cops, most police will back down if there are a lot of gun owners making a stand. The Cops here are used to fighting with hippies and drunk football fans.

“Should we now send troops? No, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t care about expanding the concept of individual liberty, when we can.”

Exactly, no one is expecting America to trigger of WW3 but there’s a lot of room between that and doing nothing.

I guess they were expecting rubber bullets. Most of fighting over there is done with rubber bullets, gas, rocks, sticks etc. Otherwise there would be thousands of killed at this point.

Perhaps why DHS and many other alphabet agencies in Mordor are buying up so much ammo these days: ‘lotta targets when similar protests arrive on our shores.

Just asking, are these protesters rag heads?

What makes you think so? Because I see no evidence of it.

The Waco massacre?

Cold blooded murders at Ruby Ridge?

No. Ethnic Ukrainians mostly. Christians, Orthodox. They even have a cadre of Priests amongst them who give services almost daily.

“The criminals in power in America are no exception and
the sociopaths pinned to badges they have employed will do their bidding with pleasure.”

If there is an uprising in this country then the rest of
the world will jump in (Mostly Great Briton, Mexico,
Canada) to carve it up for themselves. It will be the deal
that is made in Washington. The tards will maintain the
already communist northeast and the rest they will leave
up for grabs. Obama will make sure China gets paid off
by giving them part of the midwest. Mexico will get
Kalifornia and Texas will be a waste land, for not giving
up, we’ll get nuked by Obama no doubt. At the first sign
of any states succession from the union, if a tard is in
power, there will be a full no holds bared military
invasion of that state. And if that fails N.B.and C. will
be used. The northeast has been mooching off of the rest
of this country sense just before the civil war and without
us they would soon fail and that’s when Russia will get it’s
piece of the pie. I believe that’s what Obama wants if he
can’t make dictator himself. If he doesn’t get any of this
he will sell this country out in some way or another.
People like him always destroy the house when they get evicted.

Thanks, I wondered about this because Zero seemed to support them.

“Always said it would boil down to our Military Men and Women and on which side they chose to stand with.”

That’s why Obama is doing his best to discourage normal
decent people from joining and is opening the door for
the mentally disturbed heterophobes to take over.
