I have a friend who lives in the area. He told me last night that at one point over a hundred of the rioters approached a neighborhood away from the principle streets associated with the unrest..
They were met by around fifty men from that neighborhood armed with weapons from handguns up to AR-15s and hunting rifles. These residents fired their weapons into the air when the rioters approached with a significant discharge for a minute or so. The rioters turned away and went back.
Same type of thing happened during the LA riots when they tried to expand. With the same results.
If the Police and Guard are not out there in sufficient numbers to quell this, then the law abiding citizens will...and should...band together to protect their own.
That’s a big part of the second amendment...to allow citizens to be prepared to defend themselves against tyranny like this...whether domestically generated or generated by others coming here from outside our borders.
Obama, through his words and actions, is instigating and promoting both forms.
They want law less ness.If they come into our neighborhood they would meet with the same defense.
Good for them showing some balls.
Next time tell them to at least fire into dirt 20 yds away or something like that. Up in the air means its coming down somewhere, maybe even on one of these guy’s wife/kids head a block away.
Hi Jeff, what your friend described sounds encouraging. Did this get reported anywhere? I find it hard to believe that the media would not take an incident like your friend described and not try to turn it into some redneck lynching party, but if nothing was reported about such a "stand your ground" moment, something seems wrong.
