Protest over George Floyd death turns violent, deadly in Minneapolis

[corbe]

   For a town of 90K population, my little Texas German town, with a high cop per citizen ratio, won't tolerate anyone protesting, much less, looting/burning down their HQ, mucho collateral damage would incur, and they just don't care.

@sneakypete Last 4th of July we headed to the store. This LEO sergeant, our friend, his house is just after we turn onto the city street. He is lining the sidewalk for a good 50' stretch with all kinds of fireworks. Not supposed to light off anything that leaves the ground. He has fountains, rockets, mortars, roman candles, etc. In a line. A big line. I hit the horn and "swerved" towards him. He looks up with a huge grin and flies two middle fingers at me. He is an all right guy.

This town I live in is + - 4,000.

People protest all the time here. AT CHURCH.

@sneakypete  Ya know, Pete, I've fought the "law". They win.

@bigheadfred

Fred,fighting is the important thing. Winning is nice,but optional.

[Hoodat]

I'm from a small town called 'FreshOnAnAntifaProtestorsAss', and these guys are making me homesick.

[corbe]

   Thankfully, the local Cops still let the Girls on the Guadalupe River 'Flash', in direct violation of multiple State and City Ordinances, so it's all good.

   I don't need $hit from Target or AutoZone, anyway.

When it comes time to fight I am all in. So I try to avoid that as much as possible. Even if it means running away.

I think by November, we will see just how much will true Americans have.

uh huh

Because you ARE the Target and try to Autozone your way out of it.

@bigheadfred

Fred,if you can bring yourself to run away,it wasn't important enough to fight about.

If it is in defense of a loved one or over a matter of rock-rib principle,stand and fight. Anything less is not worth fighting over unless you are bored.

I see these "rednecks" armed and ready to defend businesses from looters/rioters. Do you really think they are determined enough to kill someone to stop them?  And then face the consequences in a Blue state? I was raised to never point a gun at a person unless you had serious intentions on shooting them. To kill.

An armed guard is a good thing. It would sure as hell make me move along. But $hit happens.

@sneakypete  Ya know, Pete, I've fought the "law". They win. Most of the time. In this small town, the young cops are pricks. We have a LEO friend, a sergeant, who saw the video and said that was wrong. Before I posted on this thread. My point in my first statement I stand by. I see Capital murder. At LEAST CHARGE HIM WITH THAT. I work right next to the State Police station (for this area). Those guys are, by and large, PROFESSIONALS. I have a lot of respect for them. Others, not so much.

The reason I posted personal info in the Lounge was that I think this country is headed for an ever-increasing s-show and it may come faster and harder than a run on TP. I don't trust the government. I don't trust "law" enforcement people. As a whole. I have another friend here, LEO. He told me if the SHTF the badge comes off. I don't think very many people are mentally prepared for a mass s-show. They might have the armament. But not the WILL.

Ya'll ever stop to think WHY there haven't been any mass shootings headlining? THEY don't have the need for one right now.

@Smokin Joe

I see you. People are going to have to find that hard, flinty place in their minds that sees only an enemy out to harm or kill them or theirs and act as they have to.
If they're coming to kill you, you might as well fight back, 'cause the worst they will do is what they intended to do in the first place. Know the stakes if it comes to that. Be able to recognize the mob, and if need be, make them climb over their dead to get to you.

And you are right about the mass shootings. They would only detract from the other PSYOPS going on and get in the way of all the narratives already out there. (Besides, anyone with a lick of sense would take one look at looters and rioters and burning buildings and say "Give up my gun? Oh, Hell NO!" FMCDH

@bigheadfred

No,they are posers,playing roles in a fantasy movie running inside their heads.

In short,they have seen too many Rambo movies.

I DO think they would quickly panic if attacked by a mob of blacks,though. I just don't know if they would drop their rifles and shriek like little girls,or panic and start gunning down a crowd of innocents.

I hit a point. Where I no longer had the desire to kill any mammal. It doesn't mean I stopped. I mean I stopped hunting. What I was killing were farm raised food animals. My father wanted to make sure, before he died, that we were self-sufficient. Three boys and one oldest sister. i don't know where the hell they are at since they shunned me for my insistence that they should follow my father's last wishes.

I am going to change the subject.

Started watching a Youtube vid last night "Pandora's Box". Part 1 of 3, I think.

It was about the thinking and planning of Lenin and or combined "revolutionaries" towards the scientific goal of turning man into a "rational" man. The most experienced scientists and engineers available, at that time, to accomplish that goal. They built machines. Unification. When the results wern't acceptable the purges began. Into the Stalin years.

What they did, in effect, was to awaken the common folk to the fact that they, each and every individual WAS a rational being.

So the slaughter began. And continued. First the elites. Then everyone else that thought they had a mind to speak out.

The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

One other thing.

When the Nazi's (I don't want to bring "Nazi's" into this) were herding people into trains for the labor/death camps, those people complied. Because they thought someone would stop it from happening. Meaning their own citizens. It didn't happen.

They are trying to make the same shit happen here. I object. Even if it costs you your life.

Exactly.  But watch what happens if and when these rioters decide to expand their scope and start home invasions in the burbs and the country.  Many of us are ammo'd up for a reason.

And I am not. For the obvious reason. I abide the rule of law. I will break that law. On one condition. You put it in my hands. I will accept every consequence of your act thereafter. And you have to agree that by your act I will negate any responsibility on towards you. None of this "I gave him the gun bullshit". It is on ME.

Ghetto rats are not as stupid as they look. They talk trash and strut on their home turf where they outnumber anyone they might come up against,but they are going to stay the HELL out  of rural areas.

I'm down to two cases of 308 now,and probably only have a few hundred rounds for my Garand ,but if push comes to shove I can open a couple of cans of handgun ammo I have reloaded. By the time I run out of ammo there should either be guns laying around nobody is using,or nobody left in sight still moving.

I think I will be ok.

[sneakypete]

@bigheadfred

Fred,there is not a court in the country that will be interested in prosecuting you for picking up a gun and returning fire if you are under fire/being attacked.

Just imagine the problem a DA would have trying to seat a jury that would vote to convict.

DA's do NOT like losing cases that get media attention.

Maybe now. Not in 1997. They didn't show the jury "crime" scene photos. They showed them autopsy pictures.

That reminds me. A Sawzall, electric or battery-powered is the best damned meat saw ever.

@bigheadfred

Blame your alleged lawyer for that one. You should have appealed based on incompetent representation.

True dat. The batteries today  make the battery-powered ones handy tools for the "workman on the run",too. They last a long time.

Pretty easy to buy 12 inch and 18 inch blades,too.

@sneakypete

Funny that I had a damned good lawyer. He had already enlisted his fellow partners to be the person filing.

They just need someone like Trotsky or Stalin to pull it off.

I'll tell you what's gonna happen:
The milquetoast Minnesota governor will then dispense his state police and National Guard to said "burbs and the country".

But... NOT to stop the rioters, but instead to stop YOU from defending yourself.
Even if it means attacking YOU in your homes and killing YOU, not them.

How does that hit ya...?

I saw video today from San Jose where people were coming onto the freeway trying to break windows and drag people from their cars.

Denver has instituted an 8pm curfew.

I have a friend of the family and her sister that were going to do a girls trip this weekend in Louisville.  They left today because it's getting so crazy there.

I hope @Polly Ticks is ok.
