View Full Version : Black Panthers Patroling Atlanta
Without doing any research at all I?d just about bet I can guess the ethnicity of the candidate they?re supporting.
Never mind if he/she would likely support taking away their second amendment rights that they appear to be very proud of. They?ll support that candidate based solely on the color of their skin.
Saw the article this morning. Two of the guys have good trigger discipline.

That movie sucked.
They should ditch the Dim's campaign signs and start patrolling the neighborhood. Get the bangers out! Join us in advancing gun rights so decent people can protect their communities/families.
But I guess this is easier.

Posers.
I've always been confused by actions like this. What exactly is the message? "We're tough and we support X!"?
"We're hoping to intimidate you into voting for X!"?
I wish there were more to the article, an interview for example. It's easy for white people to look at this display and be intimidated, but I'm not sure if the intended audience is even based on a specific race.
For example, when the klan does demonstrations, I assume it could be intimidating to minorities, but I generally see it as them signaling something along the lines of, "We're making our presence in your community known. If you have thoughts that align with ours, this is the person we're getting behind and if you're interested we're always looking for new members."
Since I don't even know any Klansmen or Panthers, I'm just making assumptions and don't really know.
TL;DR Sometimes with stuff like this it seems like the reporting is the bigger story than the actual event.

She calls modern semi-auto rifles, "like" the AR-15, "weapons of mass destruction".
A stunning example of stupid on display there.

That?s not the Klan I remember when I was growing up. I?m not really very old but even in high school I remember the cross burnings (usually in the front yard of a minority that had recently moved into a neighborhood), a low income housing project that had to be abandoned after several arsons, a bulldozer that ?accidentally? ran off and crashed into a home, and some other things I either forgot or just don?t care to share.
I had an uncle (by marriage, not blood) that was in the Klan. He was a real douche bag. And a cop. Glad my aunt divorced him.
I was in fifth or sixth grade when our local schools were desegregated. I remember going with my mom to draw the ping pong ball that would determine what school I went to the following year. I ended up at one school, my cousin who lived two houses down went to a different school, and a friend who lived next door to her went to a third school. We would all wait for the bus in front of my house and would each catch a different bus to our schools.
Sorry, my reference was only to very recent political stuff like when they stir up a big fuss by going to talk at a college or something. I know the Klan has a long history, but I wasn't ever exposed to that stuff at any point in my life. They sound like a real classy bunch.
In Atlanta, is it legal to open carry rifles and shotguns? As opposed to concealed carry of said weapons...

A Democrat stating that George Bush did the right thing invading Iraq because they had "weapons of mass destruction"? Never thought I'd see that.

Do they stand there and bark at people?
Given that Abrams is on record supporting a bill that would require confiscation of so-called "assault weapons" the optics on this should be very bad.
But since she's a Dem, it'll never get enough coverage in the mass media to go critical.

Unfortunately that's the problem. Hardly anyone with a D voting, sees the hypocrisy of their party. Sure the one they support calls for ban's on, sooner or later, every gun. However for that way of thinking, it's always the older white man who's fault it is.
If your goal is to accumulate power at any cost, then arming your supporters with EBRs while denying same to your opponents isn't hypocritical in the least. Rather, it's a best practice.
Yay cultural marxism.
One of the many times the NRA supported gun control legislation was the Mulford Act, which was put forward because... ba dum tsss, the Black Panthers were open carrying rifles and shotguns. Ronald Reagan, that paragon of conservatism and 2nd Amendment rights (did I make you snort?) signed it into law while Goober of California.
Both Republicans and Democrats in California supported increased gun control, as did the National Rifle Association of America, a major supporter of the act. [9] Governor Ronald Reagan, who was coincidentally present on the capitol lawn when the protesters arrived, later commented that he saw "no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons" and that guns were a "ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will." In a later press conference, Reagan added that the Mulford Act "would work no hardship on the honest citizen."[10] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulford_Act
A good primer can be found here: https://time.com/4431356/nra-gun-control-history/
If it wasn't for the fact that NRA membership is required for range membership, I'd mail Wayne LaPierre a box of rotten dog shit spelling out "NRA".
Oh, I thought it was going to be this video https://twitter.com/i/status/1279758012954148866
Which is far worse than just some posers. Also another floating around of like 30+ marching down a street before this video was taken.

Whats funny is there have been many photos taken of various "BLM militias" around the country, and invariably they're clearly untrained folk carrying Airsoft guns (one had a woman with a G36 next to some guy with a FAMAS, for example).
I'm just surprised to find out that the brotha's from the hood LARP and cosplay as much as middle class white kids.

Last I saw on da' net was a 1,000 National Guard was called into Atlanta. The video was comical. Seems like it would be very uncomfortable dressed in spandex carryin' 2 AR's and dressed in all black. 90+ temps and the humidity? Serious? In the deep south? And the popo are 100 yards down the street? WTF is going on there?

What are the unarmed national guardsmen supposed to do with those jack wagons? While some of those guns might be airsoft, I'm sure many aren't... they're just trying to trigger a gun fight or assert "dominance" and fear, aren't they.... It's idiocy.
I'm willing to bet that most pictures you see online have nothing to do with the actual event being discussed.
Not just concerning this. I mean most photos trying to rile people up. Empty political rallies, full political rallies, etc.

Baiting in an effort to "prove racism exists".

Yep...republican governor called up 1000 guard troops to fill mostly security positions around the capitol, gov's mansion, etc...to free up police officers and troopers for patrol duty.

They're dressed like ISIS....
The OP pic was posted November 2018. Getting close to two years ago. Fourteen years ago in dog years, with everything that's happened.

There's a saying that "6 months is an eternity in politics" so that photo is roughly 3 1/2 eternities old.
