>>>>>My white collar conservative friends in their early 50s, maybe I’d like their support in fixing my laptop or getting my finances in order...but physical violence...not so much.<<<<<
May wanna ease up on the stereotypes a little...
The guy I share an office with is gonna be my spotter when the time comes... Among the things being a conservative office dweller in major cities has taught me is CAMOUFLAGE. Also, the valuable skill of being able to sit motionless for hours until a high value low risk opportunity comes into the picture.
I’m also kind of handy with beakers, filters, pipes, and mixing stuff together gently and precisely at a specific temperature. It’s really needed for certain recipes.
I have a feeling that one of the guys I report too, a West Point Grad that retired a captain after flying Apaches for a few years would probably be worth a little something too...
I will close out by adding that I am in no mood (let alone the physical conditioning!) for heroic charges, kamikazee runs, or a straight up fight. But in an insurgency, a few of us button down types might be worth something. The retired marine that taught me to shoot years ago was really clear —
“I never knew until lead was coming at us whether the baddest @$$ looking and sounding marine in my platoon would freeze and cry like a little girl or whether the guy that pees his pants when he’s yelled at would turn into a stone eyed killer. Either, neither or both happen.”
Boy that hit a nerve. you posted to me twice :)
I am sure there are some very dangerous exceptions.
I am just telling from the folks I know
And me, I was brutal with my fists into my late 30s (ex boxer..wasn’t that good but hit hard)
Then I don’t know what happened lol
As far as talking tough and actually being tough, we saw a lot of true colors around here when the virus came around.
have a good one FRiend
Watched it two days ago.
The cities are falling because of the Democrats...
The one lady who is running as a Conservative in Baltimore came out swing! ... Kimberly Klacik
I have it. Might need to turn it on soon. That’s from back when low budget didn’t mean it was bad.
And dress as ANTIFA while you’re at it. Hey we wouldn’t want to give ourselves away, right?
*** “Thank god my body armor finally arrived...” ***
And it’s about as worthless as a mask ;)
Beware the man that is slow to anger.
The patience shown by conservative Americans has been breathtaking. Millions of people, many of them veterans, packing hundreds of millions of guns and literally trillions of rounds of ammo, yet everything remains quiet.
The wall of jacketed lead that will fly, once the time comes, will defy human ability to describe. God help the bastards, because I won’t.
“Ask Gavin Newsom if he cares -”
I would guess that Nicolae Ceausescu didn’t care either.
“Revolutionary citizens is exactly what the ruling wants and the reason behind all of the current orchestrated turmoil. Get it?”
No, I don’t “get it.”
Oh dummy me, my bad, I left out the word “elite” after ruling.
Sorry man — when firearms get involved in the discussion, double taps just kind of happen sometimes.
And yep, what we know and experience shapes everything, and yes, physically I have some limits today I did not have 30 years ago when I was 28.
My hope is that none of this crap gets SO BAD that any of us are motivated to...uh...kinetic voting. Or have to make sure our towns don’t go up in smoke. Some of the button downs are clear eyed enough and are willing to ante up if it comes to it, buddy.
You take care of yourself too FRiend!
Update from krcrtv
No article, just a blurb on this morning krcr tv news show
Shasta county asks for imposition of misdemeanor fine for not wearing mask.
So I guess Redding city council or someone in county government went from blaming stuff on just Gavin
to punishing Shasta county for not wearing our training Burkas.
I wonder if this came from the city council member who got outed by the guy in the vid for sleeping behind his mask.
Hmmm,,wonder why they didn’t write an article about it for their news website , if they do I’ll post it .
Democratic Central Community of Shasta County proposed resolution for mask mandate
That reprisal didn’t take long.
