A Message to ANTIFA from an American Infantryman - Salty Language Alert

[cfortune]

They have. I introduce to you "Based Carrot Man"

That guys is almost as cool as based stickman

[Irving]

So basically antifa is occupy wallstreet v2?

But with M80's and shoulder pads.

I believe we should govern ourselves but...

I still say anyone who wishes for that type of scenario is mentally out of balance. I wonder how that person would feel should his wishes be granted and a full-scale, violent revolution materialized and his loved one(s) were caught up in the violence he wished for and were killed.

It's all kinds of fun to grab a few ales and chat about what a bunch of scallywags these Redcoats are. I get that. I don't get how one actually hopes a violent revolution materializes just to get a "colony-side kill".

I think a better resolution to their nonsense would be to vigorously prosecute them thru legal avenues. Something that isn't being done now and only encourages more of their shite.

ETA: And believe me, I'd love to be the one to knock about that little Limey so hard they'd need to dig him out with several spades. But take him to the Gaol..maybe to the doctors first. I don't want to go to war over their antics.

FIFY....From a 1770's perspective

[Bailey Guns]

If this were 1776 or even 1860 and the issues were the same as then, I'd likely have a different perspective on this (though I'd be on the side of rebels in the latter).

But it's not a foreign gov't we're talking about and we already govern ourselves. I've already mentioned that's part of the issue (ie: CA has the gov't they voted for). And it's not basically half the country we're talking about. It's small, relatively unorganized groups of stupid people that wouldn't normally have a message if it weren't for social media and other electronic venues...and a willing media always looking for sensationalism. We don't need a revolution and United States military personnel in the streets, killing people, to stop their nonsense. We need elected officials and the police to do their jobs. That's it.

It seems a little ironic you've made an analogy of what I said to fighting the oppressive and tyrannical Brits in our founding years when the article in the OP alludes to gov't soldiers in the streets wanting to kill US citizens.

ETA: And, BTW...I'm not saying it couldn't get to the point of armed conflict or that the police (or even citizens) shouldn't use deadly force against these idiots at some point, depending on what they're doing. I'm saying it's not there yet. Not even close to the point we should be talking about the military shooting people.

Until they do, the inmates are running the asylum.

One thing to keep in mind is these protest are in moderate to extreme leftist urban areas. Sure we see some of it in CO. But we're fairly insulated from the real slash n burn lemmings. Who as we've seen with the BLM antics, destroy their own habitats

[TFOGGER]

Fucking trust fund hippies. Should I find myself confronted by them, I will do whatever is needed to ensure my safety, and that of my family. The fact that I *MAY* enjoy beating the ever living shit out of one or more of them is irrelevant.

[Ah Pook]

I'm a little concerned with their officer safety situation. Allowing that tard to be that close to me with a club of some type on his shoulder is definitely a no go.

Also, I will start using the term Hairy Tuna Canoe

Kev, I think the photos were staged.

It was in jest, just attempting to lighten the mood a bit.

I did however see the irony in a nation founded by folks killing their own countrymen over gun bans, tax laws and tariffs turning into our current state where we stand by and watch over half the country clamoring for the destruction of America so they can feel morally superior about themselves or whatever nonsense they've bought into as their exscuse for wanting to enshrine all our current ridiculous self harming policies, and establish even more onerous ones, while removing all of the laws that have made our country the envy of the world for 241 years. I personally would not care if all the domestic enemies were driven into the sea, or given as a gift to Cuba, Mexico, and Venezuela.
