“But, the citizens who “outgunned” you, held their fire.”
The problem with multi-party confrontations is both sides have wild-eyed paranoid nuts. I blame the government on this. I’d like to see all governmental paramilitary curbed. There is no need for them. If force is needed we have sheriffs and national guards. I recently read there are 170,000 certified federal SWAT agents. They have armored vehicles. Take a look at Venezuela to see how those vehicles will be used.
There will be lots of new toys for us to play with!
We can't really do anything about the proliferation of those vehicle to local communities.
We can do something about our reactions and attitudes.
I recommend beginning to think of those vehicles as resources for our side.
........I may be wrong but I think it was “the feds” that provoked it all.........meaning if they hadn’t sent the goon squad in full SWAT gear with Tasors tasoring folks and shoving pregnant women around and instead left it to the local Sheriff Department NONE OF THIS would have happened.
Assistant Sheriff Lomabardo said as much and allegedly made the decision to turn the cattle loose. I don’t think he had to order the BLM boys to leave as burning rubber tire marks to the East are still on the pavement I’m sure.
Next time they will bring dogs and sic them on the people protesting.
