Sorry. Not intended. I was grouping you and I together. I often do the same.
The curse of the modern age is a story from one town going global, and people commenting from their point of existence.
The uniforms are designed for that place and make perfect sense there.
From memory it's based on the bolded part, some have tried or talked about contesting their legitimacy but I don't know if anyone succeeded. So not only they have the right to bear arms but there is a statute for militias organized and unorganized ones.
They love guns because they’re so bloody scared of everything.
Well, don't.
I hadn't seen this stuff that Trump tweeted earlier 'til I read the Independent. WTF is wrong with the moron?:
'"Great job last night at the White House by the U.S. SecretService. They were not only totally professional, but very cool," Mr Trump tweeted on Saturday morning.
"I was inside, watched every move, and couldn’t have felt more safe. They let the 'protesters' scream & rant as much as they wanted, but whenever someone got too frisky or out of line, they would quickly come down on them, hard - didn’t know what hit them.
"The front line was replaced with fresh agents, like magic. Big crowd, professionally organized, but nobody came close to breaching the fence. If they had they would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons, I have ever seen."'

Enjoyed watching their training exercises.
I was doing you a favour.
God bless MLS
That Killer Mike speech is quite something
Is that actual quote???
Guns make a weak-minded person feel in control and more powerful than his/her known reality. A militia/gang/club unites that person with others to form a collective sentiment that breeds confidence and aligns common goal(s) and/or brainwash, as you likely know.
I've observed two former friends fall to this sort of alignment (but not the gun culture), one up close in person and the other from afar through social media platform. One began dating a female friend of mine in 2009 and she ultimately convinced him into the world of conspiracy and tinfoil hattery. It was quite sad to see this good bloke descend into that subculture as she became a well known commodity in those circles, particularly as a regular contributor to that nutjob Alex Jones. The other I watched through FB as he became more and more immersed into the world of MCs to the point he just vanished. I don't think it was a violent/criminal type MC but nonetheless it took over his life and remolded his psyche.
Killer Mike should definitely be running for public office.
As Obama said, any male over the age of 13 is considered a combatant. They're just following their own guidlines.
And, that is what he takes away from the situation, after a man is killed in cold blood.
“They would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons”.
Really it’s about time America sees through this clown..
Everyone who doesn't defer to Trump or upsets his ridiculous ego 'screams' or 'begs'; his choice of words shows how much he enjoys belittling people. Also, it might be argued that this is indicative of sadism.
They are allowed to protest peacefully. It's just that the authorities will send the VP on a trip to watch a football game just so he can undermine and counter propagandise the peaceful protest.
In St Petersburg, 1905, Tsar Nicholas described the regiment that shot at demonstrators as 'fine fellows'.Trump said:
Yep I'll delete here. Can you delete the replies
Van Jones warns charges against Minneapolis cop are a 'glide path to an exoneration'
He called NFL players who kneeled, sons of bitches. The reality is that however they protest, peacefully or not it will be deemed wrong. The issue isn't with the way they protest but the simple fact that they protest.
Trump's tweets are getting more and more insane.
We've known he's wanted a war for his entire presidency. He banked on it being Iran and riding the wave of rampant Islamophobia in the US but he might actually get the bigger prize here of a black vs white race war. He's gagging for it.

He is goading protestors into have another go tonight. He is desperate for this whole thing to properly kick off.
But it won't be a white vs black fight, as plenty of whites are on team #BlackLivesMatter
I still don't understand how he benefits in a USA election if police or security personnel kill civilians and inspire a genuine ruckus.
'STRENGTH!' is Trump's 'SERENITY NOW!'
Man this guy is giving the worst leader in history a run for their money!
I got a notification a cop has been killed in riots.
This is all a disaster.
RiP to that cop and hopefully their killers are served justice just like the cop that killed floyd should be

It's those liberal Democrats that keep these shit states running by insuring the bare minimum for their citizens. Republicans just simply want to kill Democrats and if it cost some of their own they are fine with it.
I'm guessing that every single 'non white native' person in USA and UK has felt like this young lady at some point in the 21st Century.
Is Trump stupid enough to do a Tiananmen Square?
I just read that the chauvin's soon to be ex wife is Hmong. He's gonna say "wah I can't be racist! I married a yella who understands traditional family roles".
This isn't a going to kick off civil war as some people think because as you said, there are many people of all colors who are primarily fighting the same thing.
The election is five months out and it's what the swing states and their voters see and believe. Trump's actions, non-actions, and tweets just continue to polarize the nation instead of enlightening people of the situation and guiding with solutions even if they are hollow or difficult.
Again, he's politicizing a societal issue and systemic issue that continues to plague America. Even if it's not his singular fault, he's contributing to the problems way more than ever imaginable because he's focused on himself and what he wants and those masses who will help him get what he wants.
Patton: "Individually they were good soldiers, but I expressed my belief at the time, and have never found the necessity of changing it, that a colored soldier cannot think fast enough to fight in armor."
Interesting stuff from the Governor of Minnesota. He’s fully activated the Minnesota National Guard and declared that the protests have been infiltrated by white supremacist groups and drug cartels who wanted to use them as a means to create chaos.
