This is what it looks like assholes. Are you happy now?
Didn’t somebody once say this: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants” ?
Isn’t this part of what the 2nd amendment is for? Defend against tyranny?
No. It is not what the second amendment is for. But some think it is and now they’re getting to see what that looks like.
They won’t get that of course. They think it’s heroic cowboys defending illegal land use.
And what is “tyranny”?
…But yes most of the big talkers about “2d Amendment solutions” are expecting the parties in their great final confrontation to look and sound different…
And maybe not so…tan?
This.
Those shooters in Dallas were clearly bad guys with guns. Loons, probably liberal activists. When a Patriot™ shoots a cop or a soldier, it’s to protect liberty, dammit.
Not a lot of difference between these assholes and the assholes out “playing sniper” at the Bundy ranch.
Well, except that the guys at the Bundy ranch were all fat lying military wannabes just playing tough guy for the summer.
This wouldn’t have happened if the cops were armed…or something. If the snipers turn out to own their guns legally it won’t make a damn bit of difference. Scared white people get things done politically but if they weren’t concerned enough when middle class schools in white neighborhoods got shot up this isn’t going to be the tipping point.
My country depresses me.
…and didn’t actually murder anyone.
If you want peace, work for justice.
My thoughts and prayers are with the OP.
Why do you feel that I need your thoughts and prayers?
It’s the victims and their families who need thoughts and prayers, not me.
The shooter was exmilitary. You wanna run that “liberal activist” line by me one more time?
I’m pretty sure that xenophon41 was being sarcastic.
Their movement did:
Teh patriot movement, militia members, tax protesters, sovereign or state citizens, quasi-Christian apocalypticists, and white supremacists sprout from a handful of idealists. Many of the writings they hold as gospel can be traced backed to the Aryan Nations.
The Oath Keepers, the White Mountain Militia, and the Praetorian Guard are not full of fluff, they are very dangerous indeed.
And they’ve also shot police. I think there’s been more than one incident of an officer getting shot after pulling someone over for some goofy cardboard sovereign license plate.
Yes. (Maybe the bad coding hid the sarcasm. I should be more careful about cutting and pasting from Character Map.)
They are responsible for the death of Robert “LaVoy” Finicum, tho.
Ah ok apologies for jumping the gun.
No worries, TNE.
