Yeager Releases 2nd Video: No Murders ‘Unless It’s Necessary’

Source: TPM Livewire

James Yeager, the Tennessee firearms instructor who made waves when he posted a video online threatening to "start killing people" if the White House issues an executive order on gun control, released a second video Thursday in which he refused to back down from most his statements.

"I do not condone anybody committing any kind of felonies up to and including any aggravated assaults or murders, unless it's necessary," Yeager said in the second video. "Right now it is not necessary."

"I have drawn my line in the sand: Not one more inch," he said.

Yeager opened the latest video saying that he "probably allowed my mouth to overrun my logic," and announced he had edted some of the more heated comments out of his previous video and reposted it. Then he added: "But I don't, I don't retract any of my statements."

His attorney probably told him to add that "Do no condone..." language so he'd have at least a little protection...

i can't be the only person who believes this guy needs to have his heels cooled somewhere far away from any weaponry. if you go listen to the video, he's gotten a lot of "positive" feedback on the first, to the extent that he says he's inadvertently built "an army." i just see this shit going sidewise in a really tragic manner. am i overreacting?

So I would say he has at his disposal both the expertise and the materials to commit mass murder.

Why is this OK? did the drones miss the target along with the HSBC targets that were actively supporting and laundering money for terrorists?

Surely, the drones have simply not left yet on these minor errands.

Isn't THIS what the nra is preaching about? Keep the guns out of the hands of the crazies? Seems like this jerk-off qualifies pretty well. He should be getting a knock on the door from ATF agents and FBI by dusk today. What a complete moron. THIS sort of craphead is what is wrong with putting guns in everyones' hands.

a newer version of Ted Nugent. There was an original video earlier today, and now he's tweaking his tune in this 2nd one. Doesn't matter. He can't walk it back. His goose should be cooked, but these days they get away with so much. This is a new day, though, after December 14, 2012, Newtown, CT.

of made up. I posted already about his claiming to have led Big Sandy's first tactical response team....HA, town of 600. Last stats show 1 policeman. years 2001-2008 show 2 policeofficers. WITH ONLY 3 CRIMES FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR !!! I'm wondering if he even worked for Benton County Sheriff. I'm going to try and verify that tomorrow. Also will try and get more info on the photographer incident. I'm sure the private security incident will speak for itself.

once you post it online it's out there for good. This retraction is weak and means nothing as he says he stands by everything he said in the first video. Like a truly insecure and weak individual he's still trying to act "manly" while attempting to walk it all back. How pathetic can one get? One thing he also may not have considered is that You Tube has a policy against posting threats and advocating for violence. Once his account and platform are gone the air will completely have left his over inflated ego. let's do him a favor and keep notifying You Tube.

Take your pick, but a few can be dealt with, a lot is an indefinite number.

If it were up to me he would have been arrested within hours of the posting of his terrorist threat.

Fri Jan 11, 2013, 06:01 AM
Jan 2013

Yaeger is the name given to a fictional Buff fighter warrior with muscles between his ears. Yaeger is also an alias that SWP members often take on. This fool like the McDonald's shotgun nut appear to be a couple of outrageous yahoos, when in fact both of these guys are more than likely affiliated with neo-nazi groups. McDonald's guy hadteh SWP tattoo on his head. This "Yaeger" fool has a last name (alias) that is a calling card for neo-nazis. If our free press would stop the blather about fiscal cliffs and pull back the veil for ten minutes, they could see what is happening here... Obama is going to need a lot of Secret Service Protection when he is done--because he has shaken up the hornets nest.
