That’s really great! When antifa and blm were destroying cities and people’s lives and livlihoods by rioting, burning, looting and murdering arcoss the country last summer, the dems didn’t care and kept up the pressure to keep the NG or LEO’s or Fed law enforcement from interfering with the rioters in any way. Amazing.

You racist. (sarc)

Of course there is a double standard.

Of course they want this to be circulated as a deterrent.

None in DC dare call it a coup. For 7 months Antifa has been rioting and attacking federal property and they did nothing under Bagpipes Barr.

Need to come up with a list of every time N. G. or FED.’s were kicked out of previous deployments. Plus, wasent the N.G. kicked out of their hotels recently by the mayor.
Hell, after 911, I don’t think the rules of engagement included the use of lethal force.
For what it’s worth, I don’t think use of lethal force has been authorized during foreign deployments.

Congress needs to IMMEDIATELY pass a “Quartering Act” in response to the “riot” on January 6. Then all the NG can sleep soundly and warmly in the back bedrooms of all those progs living in DC. They could restrict it to Chevy Chase so they don’t get stuck in Anacostia or NE DC.

"STOP demonizing our Guard!"

Like not all police officers are good, not all Guardsman are good. Not all teachers are good. Not all doctors are good.

Everybody stay home. That’s the ultimate protest. Then again maybe Biden will not be at the Capital either on Wednesday.

Oh just like they did during the 6+ months of deadly riots in over 100 US cities...

The irony is that now they are likely to accidentally shoot Antifa agent provocateurs.

Hopefully patriots are smart enough to stay home.

Pretty sure the third amendment makes that illegal.

They’re only destroying the businesses of the little folks who don’t count. Entering the kingdom of Nancy is an entirely different thing.

Do you feel like a second class citizen yet, or 3rd class?

Can you even imagine if a governor had authorized lethal force against BLM riots? These clowns are way overplaying their hand. I heard today they’ll have twice as many military people in DC as in Afghanistan and Iraq combined.

My son told me just a couple of hours ago about this. His friend who IS in the NG, said he was given a paper to sign, stating a willingness to fire on civilians.

All dressed up for a mob and nobody shows.

The word is out not to show up at any mass gatherings.

No, they (our overlords) only authorize deadly force when it affects them personally:

Burn down a seattle neighborhoods, (an actual insurrection) no worries. Protest at a seattle council members you’ll get shut down.

Loot downtown chicago, no worries. Anywhere near the mayor’s residence.......

Set up a homeless camps near the portland mayor’s house, they’ll get shut down, in your nabe, the hobos have more property rights than you.

Rush the senate during a confirmation hearing of a conservative, you’re a hero of free speech. Riot because the election is non transparent; to the gallows with you.

Its a threat to their power so the hammer goes down.

Protect citizens in their persons or property, not a chance.

/rant off

It was ANTIFA and BLM on the 6th. I think our brave Congresspukes don’t much care who is killed to keep them safe and able to engage in graft.
