Hey, they are not F**king around...just don’t be around them with guns they are likely to shoot themselves!

Knuckleheads shooting themselves...and lol the problem is?
Unfortunately, they just proved that they are a danger not only to themselves but potentially to others.
I’m uncomfortable with yahoos from both sides playing with their weapons in public. Too much can go wrong for innocents in highly populated urban areas.
Having said that, the likelihood of a flashpoint eventually occurring in these type of events seems inevitable.
Instead of starting a new thread I’ll just post this here...it is too early to say whether this was a politically motivated killing - but if it is then the shit show has moved to another level.
Black Trump supporter, 60, is shot dead in Milwaukee: Detectives are investigating 'political' motive after beloved community activist was gunned down in a drive-by
Bernell Trammell, 60, was gunned down in a drive-by shooting on Thursday
He was known for his signs that said 'Vote Trump 2020' and recited Bible verses
Cops have not yet landed on a motive, but aren't discounting his links to the GOP
Residents in the neighborhood say he wasn't afraid to express his political views
The Republican Party has called for a federal investigation into the slaying
Chairman Andrew Hitt said: 'No American should fear for their personal safety because of where they live or their political affiliation'

Roger that. Solid advice.
Well, no one can ever say that the “Not F##king Around Coalition” didn’t came out of the gate with a bang.

That's exactly what I've been thinking.
Anybody want to make bets where the first small arms engagement is going to take place? :D
Nothing impresses your pals like a round in the chamber when you are strutting downtown.....Oh, safety off....and finger on the trigger as you are a deadly dude.
They keep f*cking around and they'll shoot an eye out...., oh...wait.

Lol, they were in more danger of shooting themselves; hey wait they did do that even before they leap out of the gates. I definitely would not trust being to close to that group of lame ass militant wannabes. A sure sign of disaster and mayhem. I saw a photo yesterday of a group of Militia sporting brand new gear, it looked like it came right out of the box. Nice and shiny, no scratches, nothing worn and I bet never used. They had so much strapped on their bodies, I doubt if they could even move without falling over. Stupid breeds stupidity and they're going to get someone killed. It's both laughable and moronic at the same time. What in the world have we become? I've never seen so many American's so divided and picking sides against one other; this is a new level of idiotic behavior. Seems like the Minority is taking over the Majority and that's a shame and a disgrace.

By count the BLM movement was 0-3 for the day July 25, 2020.

Add the two from Aurora CO that day. Protester shoot two other protesters as engaging vehicle on highway.
There could be a 6th if the third gunman in Austin actually shoot and hit Foster with his AK in Austin.

He was a a positive influence by many accounts (https://fox6now.com/2020/07/26/somebody-ambushed-him-friends-remember-man-who-practiced-what-he-preached-fatally-shot-in-riverwest/) in that community. Inner Milwaukee and Madison are areas where a Trump yard sign will get a swastika burned into your lawn.

Seems the Radical Left is pro 2nd Amendment and pro-violence when it comes to their agenda. What are you going to do, when they come for you ????

Send them to meet their maker.

Aside from the incident in Austin over the weekend it seems like the violence has been a one sided affair and the response to these types thus far has been quite restrained....I can think of a number pleasantries that could be put to good use should the need arise.

Was watching Barr's testimony and couldn't help but wonder why he didn't point out that during the (armed) lockdown protests, the protesters were not violent rioters.
ie and armed society is a polite society.

Because republicans are stupid and do not traditionally think well on their feet.
In a similar situation, a democrat would have simply accused someone of being a racist or scolded them for caring about money more than the lives of innocent children.
If that didn't work, they'd have simply become indignant and shouted, "What difference at this point does it make"
Nuance my friend - political nuance.
