How are those fuckers not in jail?
So how about the cops do their fuckin jobs and go round up these people.
They did. The threat was established to be incorrect and the lone person making the threat was detained, and workers are back in the area.
They can’t be threatening FEMA and helping them!!!
Because that’s how you get reactionary keyboad warriors going “OMG ACAB WHY ARE THEY ARRESTING THEM THIS IS LITERALLY 1984” on every website and media outlet. Also, probably firefights, officer-involved shootings, and further inflammation of a situation that was fucked from the start.
People don’t tend to use their best judgement when blues are involved, especially in America.
Better that than people getting fucking murdered.
This has to be the dumbest thing I’ve read in a while and I get a lot of dumb shit these days.
Correct me if I’m wrong - isn’t FEMA a government organization.
As is people are literally hunting federal agents in a disaster zone?
Yes exactly. Federal relief agency cleaning up and assisting after a disaster.
And where is the response to this?
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’
- Ronald Reagan, 1986.
Many Americans truly believe that all government is actively working against them.
I wonder how many are on SNAP, medicaid or medicare?
…until they need help, in which case they cry for it hasn’t been swift and effective.
They aren’t organized by the Sate. They have no official authority. So they aren’t really a Militia.
They are a literal gang.
Stop calling them Militia.Militia isn’t defined by being part of the State.
It’s a term used to describe a military force comprised of civilians. There’s even a modern connotation of being against the state.
a military force that engages in rebel or terrorist activities in opposition to a regular army.
Gangs aren’t purely for military purposes, so if the purpose of this gang is an armed attack against a govenrment agency, then it’s not unreasonable to call them a militia.
So a militia, comprised of terrorists… seems fair.
I don’t understand. Do you find that confusing?
Boiled down, “militia” doesn’t mean much more than “group of non-soldiers organised in a soldier sort of way with the intention of doing soldier sort of things”.
