What’s kinda crazy to me is that if we rounded the whole group up, we’d probably get a few cops and military personnel working with them.

“Some of those that work forces…”

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Veterans on Patrol founder, Michael Meyer is not a veteran. https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/veterans-patrol

Oh, I’m sure. All of these extremist and militia nutjobs are just LARPing fools who wish for the worst, but would actually shit their pants if things really went down. They like feeling important in their otherwise mundane lives, not actually having to do anything dangerous.

Ah, veterans on patrol, they have been all over social media and the local news since showing up in NC. Complete bunch of lunatics.

Watching republicans turn against the military is very interesting. They say trump is anti war but anti military might be a better description. Meanwhile, the military has more respect for the US Constitution and might be the ultimate check against the power of trumpists. Methinks the US is fucked.

“All it takes is one weapon tower being toppled with the stated reason spoken boldly.”

Saying things with gravitas should do the trick.
