    Yeah that’s called escalating. If the Nazi’s policy is to kill on sight, the solution is to kill the Nazi before it sees you.

    That dude is basically ordering Florida civilians to engage cops in guerilla warfare.

    Nice police-work, dipshit. 👍

    Profoundly stupid for this fool to show his face on camera while openly threatening to kill American citizens.

    But he’s a Trump supporter, so being profoundly stupid is par for the course.

    If things actually did pop off in this country, anyone that has shown their face on camera in opposition to the American people will not be safe.

    There it is. Law enforcement has openly declared to kill protesters. You now know that you must fight them like your life depends on it, because they have admitted their intent.

    This is exactly the behavior your 2nd amendment rights are meant to protect you from. They are ready & excited to kill you. What are you willing to do to stop them?

        No shade, but this is a simplistic understanding of the dynamics at play.

        Protests go like this : slow & joyful start, march, sing, march some more, have a good time, then at some point a smoke grenade triggers somewhere behind you. Did anyone see where it came from? If someone did, their eyewitness account is immediately drowned in the crowd trying the flee from the fumes. Some light panic ensues : not everybody knows what the movement is about, what the danger is, and that’s very scary. The handful of people who saw the cop roll the grenade shout, or possibly send it back towards the cop line. This small commotion is used as casus belli, because that’s all they’re waiting for : an excuse to beat people to death.

        This is from experience of protests in France (mostly Marseille)

    Well, you heard it here. It’s perfectly fine to shoot cops with AR-15s if they shoot you with rubber bullets. If they can kill you for tossing a brick, you can kill them for shooting people unprovoked with “less lethal” munitions. Those rubber bullets are just as dangerous as bricks, and the cops are shooting them with impunity. By their own logic, any officer that shoots a rubber bullet at someone deserves to have their head blown off.

      Yup.

      Been for strict gun control all my life. And, in a decent country, I still would be.

      But this isn’t a decent country. It’s a country full of low-IQ fools and fascists and racists, so it’s time to get armed and prepare for the worst, which appears to be where we’re headed.

        Tanks can burn

        Jets struggle against individual personnel

        I don’t really give a damn about nukes because it sounds like a fast death

        You cannot occupy an area without exposed boots on the ground and those footsoldiers are absolutely susceptible to small arms

        Stop giving up because it sounds hard

          How do you fight the NSA though? Whne they tag you as a dissident, and the government freezes your assets and accounts. You are denied medical treatment and employment. Added to no fly lists, no travel lists etc etc. This is how the fascists maintain control, using the ‘security’ apparatus. This is what you have to contend with.

          Afghanistan was even worse. People often think the Vietnamese were just the Vietcong but often forget that North Vietnam had an army and an air force. The North Vietnamese airforce had far more fighter aces than the US (with the top ace having shot down 9 US aircraft).

          Afghanistan with the Taliban had next to nothing. Even when the US tightly controlled ammonium nitrate, which was the mainstay of IEDs they were able to switch to other stuff.

          This is in addition to tons upon tons of explosives salvaged from UXOs dating as far back as the Soviet-Afghan war.

          A true rebellion in the US would be actually be far deadlier. Americans are much richer than Afghanis ever were and have a fuckload more at their disposal. This is also not discounting that foreign elements who want to see the Trump regime toppled would be more than happy to send in tons of material to whatever opposing side exists, meaning they may not need to rely on shitty IED for long and would have proper factory made explosives and other weapons available.

          This is a bit disengenuous though. Vietnam was a war on foreign soil. The vietcong did not have to win, they just had to male it politically and financially untenable for the US to carry on. Same with Afghanistan. It will never be politically or financially untenable for the fascists to keep suppressing the citizens.

        1 sniper can kill many, many enemy officers. This is a historical precedent.

        You don’t need heavy artillery to wage guerilla warfare and cripple an enemy’s operational capabilities.

        A bunch of farmers in Vietnam outlasted us using those tactics.

          You’re not wrong. But with today’s tech its more unlikely that one sniper is going to be as effective. With drones equipped with IR it’s a lot harder to stay hidden. And in a more urban environment, there are cameras everywhere, and the police have access to everyone’s ring doorbell camera, its getting a lot easier for them to track people down.

    I hope the reply from protestors is…

    We will kill you

    If you forget that you are public servants, and you ignore our Constitutional rights, then you have no authority under that same Constitution.

    If you hit one of us, then we are going to hit back, and we outnumber you 50-1. If you let the dogs loose on us, then we will kill the dogs, and the officer that looses them, as this is a lethal action with the intent of bodily harm.

    If you gas us, or shoot us with “less lethal” weapons, then we will defend ourselves with as much force as necessary. We are exercising our rights as citizens, you are public servants with the express purpose of protecting citizens and upholding our rights. Police authority is written on the back of the social contract that enshrines our rights. You can’t rip up one without ripping up the other.

    See you motheruckers on the street.

    PS. Every protestor there ought to show up with an open carry, preferably a longarm.

          Because you’ll be the only one carrying, so they will just arrest you on sight for breaking the law. You have to be thoughtful, they don’t.

          You need a critical mass to do that, which we don’t have quite yet.

          Also if we get a critical mass, then the NG and Marines get deployed.

          For about 30 seconds till they shoot you first for breaking local statutes.

          They don’t have to think about their actions, theirs are protected. You have to think about yours. Without outnumbering them 10 to 1, then you’re just throwing away both those rights, and your life. Best case you end up a felon with no 2nd amendment rights. Worst case you end up dead.

      I can appreciate and agree with this to some extent, but the entire point of this is to provoke exactly that reaction so that they can justify the horrors they want to carry out.

      I can’t think of a counter except to be willing to be the first side shot. then clear out, then the NEXT day return armed. Put that space in there, a clear timeline of how the violence started, who started it, something of record. THEN you come back.

    Can you imagine tabling this evidence in a civil case against police brutality. It would be a slam dunk if the US police were accountable like in civilised countries. The fact that they can say it out loud is indicative that the US is beyind fucked.

    The US has gone from my let’s organize an intervention for that fuck up friend list to their fucking poison and will drag the rest of us down with them if we don’t keep our distance.

    Weirdest shit was the time I was drunk with a cop buddy. With his cop friends. Who were also getting loose lips and telling stories and one of them checked them all and said. I wasn’t a cop. And not to talk about that stuff around me. Still bothers me. I never saw that friend again. But ya. Wild stuff.
