WhiskeyWarrior556 falls victim to New York’s red flag laws
Aerican Thinker ^ | 11/24/2019 | Taylor Day

On Friday, police showed up to a young man’s workplace and tried to arrest him over social media posts reported to them by an old army buddy of the 28-year-old Afghanistan veteran. This man, known as Alex and popular on Instagram under the handle of WhiskeyWarrior556, slipped out of the back door, hurried home to check on his family where he found out police had already forced themselves into his home and confiscated his legal firearms after threatening his wife with calling child protective services to remove her newborn child.

Correction- guy he was in army with, not army buddy. Correction- guy he was in army with, not army buddy.

Hmm. I always thought they were one and the same thing.

All I can say is that I have had personal in your face experiences with federal government authorities accessing my computer and knocking on my door. They do indeed take things you say on the internet very very seriously. Had to change my program and take a break from the internet and let things cool off a couple times now over the last 10 years because of it.

I really cannot say much more than that. And I will bet I am not the only one here who has had this happen to them because of their political activism...

The current good guys in blue will become the new American Gestapo.

They have been that way since prohibition. IIRC there wasn't any such thing as cartels before then. Criminal monopoly indeed. It's their monopoly and you're a criminal unless you're in it with them.

They want your guns if you’re a non violent citizen.

I just try to be prudent as the best defense against the insanity.

Sometimes I just play off as a total idiot so that nothing I say is taken seriously as a subterfuge. :)

So he must have done something.

Yeah, he "must" have. Because government is so benevolent and all.

I have nothing, not after that sad day when all my guns, silver, and girl scout cookies were lost in a boating accident.

As I was watching the events unfold on youtube and NY Guns Forum, I hope the folks in NY put together a Lessons Learned, because there are many. In no particular order, and not exhaustive:

1. In this present age in which we all know there is a bloodless coup going downing a very divided country, you have no business NOT belonging to at least a squad size element of patriots. If you do not belong to, or are in the process of forming a group, or supporting one, you are a lazy POS, tethered to your keyboard.

2. Communications security and operations security. Sneakernet. If your element uses social media, you are a worthless attention-seeking POS. None of the serious patriot groups use social media. None.

3. If your actions causes or compels other patriots to expose themselves to legal action or risk their lives to come and bail you out because of your lack of security and planning, you are in irresponsible POS.

4. The red line on 19 April 1775 was well defined and well disseminated among patriots in each township and county. Absent that, patriots should endeavor to seek alternative methods of resistance. My good friend Keith Broaders over at Constitution Club has some ideas about that: actively support Constitutional Sheriffs.

5. Talking about going to the mattresses over ONE 30-round mag is ridiculous. Don't like the law? It should have never gotten on the books in the first place. Double and triple your efforts to get it stripped or unenforced: again, check out Constitutional Sheriffs.

6. Drinking before encountering LEO, where you laid down the gauntlet and suggested the possibility of violence is industrial-scale stupid and adversely affects the patriot movement. Grow up. Study the original patriots, their character and actions-- mimic them.

Stop acting like children and get it done like a pro. Silently build capability. We are in terrible shape that these things have to be stated in public.

“So he must have done something.
They don’t pull that crap if you get a burger from McDonalds.”

Someone tells him to apply to VA for financial assistance because of PTSD or possible PTSD. That’s all it takes.

Yeah, NO ONE including “the subject” seems to be able to “tell the truth”.

A pox on BOTH their houses at that rate ...

The tyranny of government continues to grow...like a cancer.

So when will CW-II begin? Are there any patriots coming to this guy's rescue?

Never, ever forget how willing the police are to perform unconstitutional actions. The police are your real enemy. They are the ones who become ‘jack boots’ to execute control over free people.

Learn to keep your mouth shut and stay off of social media.

And there you have it. That is the end goal.
The Hegelian Dialectic strikes again to silence the population.

We'll get there by hook or by crook.
