Is it time for a ‘whiff of grapeshot’ to bring the rioters to heel?

I think it’s clear the right won’t fight back out of ‘ideology’ but rather it’s going to have to be out of direct self-defense, mass loss of employment, economic depression, etc.

If ideology and protecting ‘freedom and liberty’ etc. were enough, we’d be out in force now. No, it’s going to take something more where the guy with a wife and three kids and a mortgage is willing to suit up.

I strongly recommend AGAINST using these kinds of loads against ANTIFA when they are armed with semi-auto rifles as they are where I live. Each ANTIFA crowd has 6-12 guys armed with AK’s or AR’s usually in front and on the flanks.

“Hate to sat it but it looks a lot like 1930’s Germany. A certain groups wants to force itself on the country using mobs of Brownshirts.”

In many respects, it looks very much like 1930s Germany.

“If people come to burn our houses down, many of us won’t passively sit back and watch it happen.”

True dat.

If it were only that simple.

There were TWO groups in Germany trying to force themselves on the country using mobs: the Communists and the Fascists (Brown Shirts).

I think you’ll probably appreciate the following quote from Winston Churchill:

“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” — Winston Churchill

Given the increased domestic terrorism with these Biden riots, The Federal Government needs to enlist a large task force and insert dozens of these enforcement officials on the ground to spot these vans and pallets of bricks and otherwise infiltrate this criminal enterprise.

It’s absurd that law enforcement is turning a blind eye to this terrorism that is costing us BILLIONS and threatens our property and personal safety.

We should take a lesson from history. In 1876 Jesse James and his gang tried to rob a bank in Northfield, MN and were cut to pieces by armed citizens. A citizen posse then hunted down those who escaped. If the police hobbled by leftist politicians cannot protect citizens, then armed citizens will protect themselves. One scared 17 year old managed to take out 3 rioters in Kenosha WI. Imagine what an organized force lead by military veterans could do to these punk rioters.

However, it is only a matter of time when outside forces including terrorist nations will seek to arm and train these rioters. They need to be put down before they get armed with AK-47s and RPGs

“The anarchists and Dems are bear-baiting now because they WANT martyrs.”

They want some unknown schmuck to be the martyr (ala Horst Wessel), but the answer is to make some of THEM martyrs, at which point they’d quickly tire of the martyr game.

That is it exactly.

I view Winston Churchill as one of the greatest leaders of the 20th Century...

And one of the most quotable. I purchased a book “The Quotable Winston Churchill”...

Great purchase.

That man was flawed, but...all men are flawed. All of them. And he made mistakes, as all great men do.

He was a sexist, opinionated, drinker.

I don’t see those as his flaws...:)

My mother was British (she went through the Blitz, etc.), and met my father during the war (he was a bomber pilot in the 8th Air Force based in England); they married after the war.

My mother always said that Churchill gave them (the Brits) hope, but that they (the Brits) finally believed in victory once the U.S. joined the fight. She said the Brits were stunned at the firepower “the Yanks” showed up with.

Alas, both my mother and father are gone now. I miss them still, and always will.

“Now, to fight the rioters is to fight the police. I don’t think most Americans are anywhere near ready for that. “

People are still oblivious to the resources at their disposal.

Fighting police? My sheriff threw two corrupt police chiefs out of the county. The pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff has the legal and armed muscle to take out all gestapo cops.

I had to lookup what an M134 was.

Found a nice video.

Me likey.

Just seeing these deployed and ready to use will cause a lot of these idiots to re-evalue their lives and de-ass the area in a quick and efficient manner.

You and Winston Churchill have something in common...in your case, your Father was the American! I have always loved that about Churchill, that his mother was an American!

I know how you feel about your parents...mine have both been gone for over 15 years now. And I do miss them. A different generation, to be sure.

A good sniper wouldn’t be found.
