Leftist Narrative Crumbles After Key Fact About Armed Men Involved in Standoff Revealed
The Western Journal ^ | July 4, 2021 at 8:22am | C. Douglas Golden

In Wakefield, Massachusetts, an armed group that apparently believes it is not subject to the laws of the United States engaged in an hours-long standoff with police in the early hours of Saturday morning.

On its Twitter account, The Associated Press reported that nine suspects were taken into custody after the incident, which closed down Interstate 95 — the major north-south artery for the entire East Coast — in both directions on the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

No member of the group — carrying long guns and clad in military fatigues — was wounded in the standoff.

Naturally, too many Twitterers jumped to quick conclusions.

“What law exactly did they break? Being in public with a gun?
Yes, Massachusetts takes the position that their very strict firearms law apply to anyone, even someone just traveling across the state. So they regularly arrest motorists in possession of firearms that would be legal in other states.”

But isn’t I-95 an Interstate, built with Federal Dollars?
Should be perfectly fine to transport your firearms.

An enterprising Legal Beagle should take this one.

Then Gov Reagan made the mistake going after the Panthers for their legal weapons in Cali back in the day.
Dont make the same mistale twice.

Yes, the Twittsewer bluechecks and their brain-damaged Lefty minions jumped to the conclusion that White Supremacist militia dudes were going to Maine to kidnap Doc Jill so's to cut joek off from timely diaper changes and PuddinPops, thus forcing the goobermint to its knees.

It turned out that it was Clayton Bigsby and his brethren...

The funny thing is that if they ran out of gas in lily white New Hampshire, the state trooper would have helped them refuel and sent them on their way to Maine.

No - being in Leftachusetts while breathing.

HOW MUCH OF A MORTAL THREAT ARE A PACK OF SUPREMACIST, BLACK, WHITE, OR INUIT, DUMB ENOUGH TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON THEIR WAY TO THEIR “MILITIA” TRAINING?

Police say they’re working with prosecutors to determine the appropriate charges for members of the group.

"At least one of the two vehicles had run out of gas."

A well planned and organized military maneuver.

FOPA (Firearms Owners Protection Act) indeed allows transport of unloaded, locked up separate from locked up ammo through jurisdictions where otherwise it is illegal.

Note that these folks were carrying in their hands long guns. Kinda hard to invoke laws you are not following.

Here's a link to the AP article:

. https://apnews.com/article/armed-standoff-wakefield-massachusetts-9ee61b69ca96bb5ce212f56651f0dd11?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=AP

and here's the key sentence: "The standoff began around 2 a.m. when police noticed two cars pulled over on I-95 with hazard lights on after they had apparently run out of fuel, authorities said at a Saturday press briefing." My emphasis.)

So it looks like these 'dangerous armed insurrectionists" weren't out to do anything at all illegal, but ran afoul of the law because one of them ran out of gas. Funniest thing of all, they were a bunch of black guys out to go shooting and, fortunately, there wasn't a tragedy because they and the cops both kept their heads. Unfortunately, they might get into trouble because MA takes a dim view of "assault weapons." Here in TN they'd have jut been told where the nearest gas station was and to go on their way.

The media does this on purpose so this won’t be labeled in the Racially Motivated Incident column at Langley or the J. Edgar Hoover Bldg in D.C.

Good military leaders think about tactics, great military leaders think about logistics.

If only they fessed up that they were headed to Maine for gender reassignment surgery, GEN Miley would be administering the oath of enlistment pronto.

Can you say FBI false flag material .... if they would try to recruit a mentally ill teenager, a bunch of Muslim buffoons wouldn’t be outside their scope.

Carrying openly any weapon is against the law in Mass.
