It will only get worse. This anarchy should have been suppressed immediately. Now it’s out of control.

Marxists trying to start a war.

The FBI,et al, will continue to look under rocks for “white domestic extremists.”

“Active war zone?” and two superficial injuries?

The author doesn’t know what an active war zone is.

Okay, BLM/Antifa are shooting at NG working with law enforcement. Time to handle riots that included burning, looting & murder like we did back in the 60s.

What color was this violent SUV? Was it a WHITE SUV?

I knew we should have banned them years ago when they began autonomously running over people and causing accidents.

Rush always said SUVs had a violent streak in them...

Just random ersatz white suprema-cyst actions trying to make peaceful gatherers look bad.

Too bad the NG did not have a Javelin ATM for the SUV.

In cases like these, the Guardsmen are often under weapons restrictions (no round in the chamber, etc.). Does anyone know what the situation is here?

Most likely they were issued without bolts and/or ammo.

Nothing like fully kitted National Guardsmen patrolling with rifles that can’t be used when fired at by civilians...

They’re activating all their assets in a hurry. Keep your kids away from school for a while.
