US militia groups planning to form their own caravan and head to border

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Civilian militia groups are reportedly headed to the border to try to help enforce U.S. immigration law as roughly 6,000 immigrants move northward through Mexico.

"We’ll observe and report, and offer aid in any way we can," the president of the Texas Minutemen, Shannon McGauley, told The Washington Post. "We've proved ourselves before, and we'll prove ourselves again."

McGauley said that the Texas Minutemen have 100 volunteers headed to the border, with more likely on the way. They are reportedly packing coolers, tents, guns and aerial drones for their trip.

“I can’t put a number on it,” he added. “My phone’s been ringing nonstop for the last seven days. You got other militias, and husbands and wives, people coming from Oregon, Indiana. We’ve even got two from Canada.”

1. Good. They'll waste their time finding out the whole thing is BS.

Of course they’ll take credit for people not showing up.

28. Bet they won't be walking.

Well-stocked RVs and pick-ups will drive up as close to the border as they can and the occupants will complain if they have to tote their guns, coolers, beach umbrellas and fold-up chairs any distance at all.

2. Our Military must be so happy to hear this! 😫

NOT.

Total clusterfk.

[Wintryjade]

3. Didn't the do this once before? So much crazy, hard to remember all the crazy.

But it seems we have already seen this movie.

[bronxiteforever]

4. This won't end well. The US military in the middle of this.

ICE Agents and armed White Nationalists and immigrant children.

[bdamomma]

21. it won't end well at all

who is going to be at risk the most those immigrants with children??? I'm sure that are not carrying GUNS with them. Or will they put them in those illegal detention centers????

[bronxiteforever]

25. It really just breaks your heart.

All this hate for people and children who have nothing.

[maxsolomon]

5. Please forget your sunscreen, and don't hydrate.

Stupid white people.

Must be nice to have so much free time. Not like us Libtards, with our jobs and family obligations...

[ooky]

8. A lot of them are old white retired

dumbasses that shouldn't even be handling a weapon much less running around in public waving one.

[maxsolomon]

11. Probably with pensions

Durn Soshlysts!

[maryellen99]

17. A lot of the Bundy followers were young men who were most likely getting SSDI and not working nt

[shockey80]

6. These are the same people that deny climate change as their house floats by.

[ooky]

7. Civilian "unregulated" militias should be outlawed.

The Constitution doesn't protect their activity. In fact, the way it is worded should specifically prevent it.

[dameatball]

15. Exactly. These thugs are regulated by no one other than Trump and Fox News.

I may be somewhat incorrect, but it seems to me that militias pretty much outlived their usefulness when the Continental Army was formed. They also were used to round up runaway slaves prior to and during the Civil War.

[bdamomma]

22. that

is why we have the NATIONAL GUARD. PERIOD. That is militia right there.

[bronxiteforever]

[Iggo]

9. Chance to shoot innocent brown people? Why wouldn't they?

Gunfuckers gonna gunfuck.

[Wolf Frankula]

10. Call them gangs.

These are not militias. They are gangs. And let them take a shot at the military, and we'll see how fast they throw down their guns and run.

[maxsolomon]

13. They intend to bask in the reflected glory of the Military

The same fools would be screaming "Posse Comitatus!" if there was a Dem in the White House.

[NCjack]

20. They are the "MAGA-Street gang." nt

[Pachamama]

12. The US Military is more concerned about these armed "militia" militant groups than unarmed civilians

....fleeing violence....

The leaked threat assessment shows the armed militia groups are a bigger threat and are even known to steal weapons and equipment from the US military and National Guard....

Way to go all you Trumpholes....Making America Great Again!!!

[Jack-o-Lantern]

14. Yeah, a bunch of fat tootles hicks ahgrabbinn they guns ahheading fer the border

to be ah-shooten them sum ferahneers fer trump.

God help us.

[BSdetect]

16. Who is funding them? Ha ha The couch potato army.

[Autumn]

18. The world's oldest profession has long catered to military troops, whether at home or abroad.

They have just been replaced with wannabe soldiers.

[Initech]

19. This has "international incident" written all over it!

[bdamomma]

23. psst

…………...calling the Hague

[albacore]

24. Militia...? How about clowns?

[joshcryer]

27. Good, the FBI could use a nice tidy group of people to monitor.

If they aren't already on lists as it is.

We're having a militia resurgence (similar to what we had in the 90s with McVeigh). There is going to be one crazy bastard out there that has visions of the Turner Diaries, and will do something very evil and stupid. It's only a matter of time. I fear for the US.

[Maxheader]

29. Bundy brave...

[MountCleaners]

30. Look how normalized they've become

Remember when militias were associated with Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols?

The media takes no responsibility for how Trump has emboldened and encouraged the far right.

We can't have militias playing cowboy with refugees.

[louis-t]

31. I hope they have a nice campout

without shooting each other.
