+1. Patriot sniper teams had them ranged and dialed in. The militias and Oathkeeprs ran a magnificent operation. They mostly did it from the shadows with very little fanfare.

I can hear the comms from the BLM helicopter crew to the FLEAS on the ground: “Hey, fellas....we have a big problem....maybe it’s time for a Plan B.”

I read that wrong, and thought you were impugning my sexual orientation.

I didn’t think that’s possible, unless you thought I was suggesting you have sex with arachnids.

I’ve noticed an attitude among LEOs that “civilians” (that’s us) are ignorant savages with no knowledge of military tactics.
I believe this episode shows that there is little truth to that opinion. Many, if not most men nowadays have some sort of military experience and know they should occupy commanding positions when facing an enemy. The BLM had snipers in positions to cover the protestors but at the same time, the protestors had taken positions to oversee those snipers. Checkmate! With their tactical shooters no longer tactical and with the main body trapped in the bottom of that wash by forces on three sides, the BLM had no choice but to retreat.

You put that many cops in a situation like this, and they will often start shooting.

Yeah, but if they were hired within the last ten years or so, I wouldn't worry. They're truly lousy shots. Except possibly the snipers who may be the sort of folks that take their work more seriously. Why do you think the Feds bought so many billions of rounds of ammo recently? They only expect to hit one out of 10,000 shots.

Imagine hundreds or thousands of Bunkervilles at the same time. Imagine them just before the elections.

Then we must further imagine that an anti-American regime might intentionally escalate such Bundy-like conflicts specifically to determine the best way to generate civil unrest sufficient to support a declaration of martial law prior to those elections.

Perhaps the only way such a regime would retain the loyalty of the current U.S. military, after such a declaration and in the absence of external threats, is under wide spread instances of large numbers of civilians firing on uniformed law enforcement.

The BLM didn’t shoot because they didn’t have overwhelming odds in their favor. The Feds were surrounded and their ‘courage’ evaporated.

The only way large numbers of civilians would be firing on LEO would be if LEO were coming after lots of civilians brutally and without legal justification. Which unfortunately seems to be edging closer all the time. How many people have to be brutalized by SWAT attacks for traffic fines and missed child support before the people begin to respond in kind?

Who knows what plans are going on in the mind of a loon like Obozo? The people are only going to act in self defense, so the response of the people is predicated on the acts perpetrated by the militaristic thugs DC looses upon the people.
