Reply To: On Tyranny Lesson 6: Be wary of paramilitaries
There are many militant groups throughout the US who are just waiting to be called to arms. They each have their own group agenda but all have the common thread of hate for the government. Be it the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Boogaloo Bois or others, all they need is for the government to tell them to act and they will happily come. I feel the republican administration is waiting for any excuse to declare a state of emergency. Once that is done he can turn the military against the people. I fear we might see the military attacking peaceful protestors any time now.
I learned from the events in Kenosha, WI where Kyle Rittenhouse pretended to be a paramedic, marched the streets like his own little private militia, and killed innocent citizens how these things get out of hand. Militant groups are brought in to turn peaceful marches into destructive, violent riots in a matter of minutes. They are well disciplined, have specific strategies for distracting the police and create havoc in minutes. Fires were set in store buildings with apartments upstairs. The rioters hid in the bushes and ambushed the firemen who came to put out the fires and rescue those in the apartments. Now the police had to come to every fire call and secure the area before the firemen could safely fight the fires. Thus preventing them from securing the riots in other neighborhoods. My daughter’s home was threatened and they had to evacuate to my house for their safety. Neighborhood watch men, turned militants, drove around the streets with their guns trying to protect their neighborhoods. The problem was you had no way of knowing who was the bad guy and who was there to protect you. All it takes is a few minutes, evil minds, lots of anger, and your world is on fire and bodies are laying in the streets. tRump dreams of bringing in his army to save the day. That’s the day when democracy has truly lost. The day the military backs the devil. The day democracy dies!!
