I Am Beginning To Believe There Will Be Armed Conflict With Militias.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Whether it starts at the sanctuary or somewhere it looks like there is a collision course that will end up with armed conflict with these extremist militia. The occupiers look to be signaling they will never leave peacefully. Also they seem to expect there should be no charges against them since they do not recognize the federal government as a lawful entity. The feds have held back to their own reasons but may be forced into action.

And it is very likely that other militias carry the same attitude. Even though most Americans do not support these militia avoiding conflict may not be possible.

I hate to see anything happen. I would not want to be in a place to make any decision to act. There are few good possible outcomes when you see the disposition of the occupiers and others.

1. Onesies and Twosies maybe...

Random nutters... nothing like an actual movement though

3. Dunno, there's a lot of macho surface bonding out there

None of these bozos actually agree on much beyond the idea that the government is bad and that they're just the fellas to abolish it and bring in Utopia--with themselves running things, of course.

They might be just organized enough to start running "missions," meaning law enforcement is going to have to stop obsessing over left of center people like the Quakers and start to focus on the jackasses who are shooting their asses off.

2. Watch PBS' Eye on the Prize. White folks

have been doing this shit for years. The Obama administration doesn't need to do anything until they're ready. I'm not worried.

4. Not A Militia

You will find what a militia is if you search Wikipedia for Battle of Lexington

12. +1, They use the term 'militia' to define what John Adams would call anti-government 'Faction.' nt

5. That's what they seem to want.

There's supposedly 100,000 of them out there, spread across the country. What makes us different from them is, we do not want to shoot other Americans. Fox News and RW Hate radio gins these people up, but does not actually support them. They are dupes.

They want free stuff from the government. Things that the rest of us pay for.

6. you ain't seen nothing yet

If Donald should by some chance become the next president we will have armed militias in the streets inciting race war. What do you think these wackos have been doing for the last 8 years? they have been buying guns and ammo just waiting to get the N out of the white house. Then along comes their saviour Donald and gives them everything they want.Watch out it's coming and has already started

8. Has DOJ said anything about this?

9. One can only hope.

Anything to get rid of them.

10. It wouldn't last very long.

As long as we're imagining things, I imagine the militias are most dissatisfied with liberal Democrats and Progressives; while they tend to look favorably on local police and the military.

Considering the level of vilification of the police and military to be found in liberal Democratic and Progressive circles I'm not so sure the police and military would be willing to go to the mat against an ally in order to protect an adversary.

I mean, as long as we're saying stuff just to scare ourselves.

11. Yeah.

I'm not.
