REPORT: the Missouri Citizen’s Militia is NOW IN Ferguson to protect innocent Americans from the tyr

http://1newsjunkie.blogspot.com/2014/08/report-missouri-citizens-militia-is-now.html
What do you all think of this?

REPORT: the Missouri Citizen’s Militia is NOW IN Ferguson to protect innocent Americans from the tyrannical ‘police state’

Reminds of the vigilantes who came to occupy AZ....common enemy I guess

the Missouri Citizen’s Militia is NOW IN Ferguson to protect innocent Americans from the tyrannical ‘police state’ according to the linked facebook post from Aaron Penberthy. Missouri’s Militia was recently at Bundy Ranch protecting innocent Americans from the CORRUPT FEDS who have NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN TERRORIZE INNOCENT Americans. Straight from the lips of Penberthy on Facebook:

Aaron Penberthy If peaceful protesters get fired upon, it is my duty to uphold the constitution Clay Martin. If innocent families are being attacked, I have no choice but as a human being to go defend.

Hope they are not going to incite violence although their claim is to protect

Let's see hiw this plays out. All residents need to stay away from all of the men with guns. Let the popo and the Missouri Citizen's Militia sort it out. Too many guns for me.

The first smell of teargas and they would run home, leaving a cloud of cheeto dust in their wake. "Militia" is a code word for basement-dwelling losers who like to play soldier in the woods on the weekend.

I am so sick of these open carry assholes, they could scare the peaceful protesters away and ruin everything. There are so many great people doing great work in trying to bring justice to Ferguson and now there are gun nuts threatening to shit on those people by going violent.

But I felt the same way as you about vigilantes protecting occupy AZ a few years ago and had to do some reflection on if you call for the 99% ,
or the "oppressed by military state" to gather what that means on whom that may include...

For those who don't know older movies, it is "The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming." It came out in the late '60s or early '70s during some cold years of the cold war.

Better yet what do the blacks in Ferguson think?

Heard a lot of swagger in DU about why these shit-in-pants RWers are hypocritical in not coming to Ferguson.

Now, maybe they are.

Happy?

I posted a fact about my own recollection.

Whenever I have noticed a post of yours, it's negative as to DU's policies or posters. That is a fact.

You're the only one in this exchange who posted insults.

Take your insults elsewhere,


LOL! What authority do you imagine you have on this board to direct me?

Usually, when people insult, they own it and don't dress it as a "fact about (your) own recollection." Your's was an insult.

I have congratulated many posters here, supported many progressive views here, and posted my sympathies when DUers run into hardship here. And if you check my profile, my jury duty chances are 100%. You probably don't notice because you are hung up on:

(1) My position on 2A.
(2) My genuine criticism of special dispensations granted the gun-control/ban members. Had you noticed, there has been an improvement in the GD TOS (supported by me and, I believe, most in DU).

I will Always take issue with others with whom I disagree; if someone gets rough with me I'll return in kind. And I like cats.
