Here is some of the things you may have missed last week and this weekend.
Heavily Armed Men who refuse to ID Themselves Patrolling Washington DC
One of them said they work for DOJ (Department of Justice). And they probably do.
I think history will show that our government is scared and it’s easy to call up private contractors. It just takes money and they have tons of it.
Technically their contract is probably through DOJ so they can operate on US soil.
This isn’t unheard of, and happened during hurican Katrina years ago. If these riots continue this is how the federal government can start pushing troops into local areas.
This could be bad and it could be good. Only time will tell.
Who “Needs” an AR-15? This Dallas Store Owner could have used one
He went to protect his store and got beaten nearly to death. Last I heard he did survive, but do you want to end up like this?
He was rushed by half a dozen people from the mob and beaten mercilessly until they got tired and left him to die.
Don’t let this be you.
What happened in Minneapolis was and is horrible.
What could you do if you where there?
Not much. Greg Ellifritz put out a couple good solutions in his blog below.
But could you be one of the bystanders and just watch it happen or would you get involved? And how far are you willing to go?
If you get physically involved, as in fight the cops, you are going to jail at the very least. You are going to get beat up by all the other officers that get on the scene later and end up in the hospital. And if the police are truly corrupt enough to kill one man on camera then they are willing to do it again and you could be the next victim.
On the other side of the argument could you have lived with yourself if you stand there and do nothing and watch another man die?
No good options here.
