Most of the BLM “Rangers” were from out of the area - on purpose. There is one very big concern for me. Watch the tall bearded guy wearing the “Police” sign in this video. I only know of one type of person that acts and behaves in that manner.
US Military Spec Ops. Very SOP of their mannerisms and speech patterns.
Yes, the bearded guy is most definitely ex military.
I would know.
This “tall bearded guy” gave his “word” that no arrest would be made. What if his “orders” had changed? What would his “word” be worth to him?? Would he have defended him against arrest??
He was clearly in charge.
Also, has the No Fly Zone been lifted?
That may have actually helped to defuse the situation. People with that kind of military experience know that once there are a significant number of armed people on both sides of a dispute, engaged in a close range stand-off, if violence erupts it is nearly impossible to know the final outcome. But you do know there will be casualties on both sides.
Military missions, particularly those of special forces troops are meticulously planned to provide the SF team with every advantage possible. Those people, more than many others, know how badly things can go when there is no plan, just a bunch of people shooting at each other.
Even a poorly trained group of irregulars can cause major damage, or even defeat a more organized force when the battle is unexpected. Ask anyone who survived an ambush in Vietnam.
The genius of the founders exists on many levels. Armed citizens, by their mere presence, can deter violence and the unwarranted use of force.
That was my opinion immediately when I saw him. The guy is no federal donut-muncher like a lot of the others obviously were but is a serious player. The "POLICE" sign was for show.
But what a crock of BS in that video!!!
Worst and most full of it media show ever.
Is that a local station for Nevada?
