Name one. Which terrorist attack involved involved photography and open carry.
Did Tim McVeigh saunter around the Murrah Federal Building while openly carrying a pistol on his hip? Did he or his confederates even photo it at all?
This is all security theater, when the real agenda is controlling citizens and preventing us from watching our watchers. Cops hate cameras because it exposes them to daylight.
It's to keep THEM safe from US, safe from exposure or embarrassment when they are over the line and out of control. It lets them control the narrative when their actions are questioned.
I will confess of not having a ready, linkable example on hand. And if I am mistaken I will most gladly eat my words. However most humbly I relate memories of having read about both such events and such precautions shortly after 9/11. And things reflecting provocative actions of Satan through his servants which didn’t involve exactly this, but other things like carrying around odd items in McDonalds bags aboard aircraft.
Please. Like the slogan goes, if we do not hang together we hang separately. We can’t afford to wall off our sheriffs even if we do find ourselves tempted to wish them to hell during some pressing moments. What do we do when an evil larger than ourselves, AND our sheriffs, comes? Do we want to be hurled into a mutual fight? I think it’s great that you can show that you can carry both a gun and a camera and use them in the right way, and that the public and police don’t have to be worried every single time about it... but oh, let it be done in the right spirit! Don’t import a little bit of Satan into the picture and ask that to be tolerated and call that your rights! Do what you do in God! Warn the sheriff.
This is not the same as the other lame examples that were given. Great public expenditure is not made because someone criticized what they believed to be evil police conduct during a police arrest. Have the same mercy you would want yourself if in such a position. Be firm! Yes be firm! But oh, be fair!
Again I have failed myself to live up to everything God would want me to be. But woe to me if I don’t preach the gospel? The gospel is dangerous because it is news that is more good than we can tolerate. God says go up, up, up to a level not just past our worldly shames but to the level of His own heart! Oh, God loves us. God loves us so much. We cannot stand it. We are weak.
Sincerely,
“Redneck”
I said: Do what you do in God! Warn the sheriff.
and, you wouldn’t even have to do that every single time, I bet. after that had been done maybe a couple of times, a single unannounced visit like this would get little attention, maybe a beat cop coming out to ask you what’s up. again, mission accomplished, gloriously. and you did it in God.
