With these guys, their motto is "Ladies First!"

(146,317 posts)If something actually happened, they'd all shit their pants and run. That's why they put unarmed women up front. They believe, and probably rightly so, that the law enforcement folks won't start shooting. So, they can puff out their chests and pretend not to be cowards.
On the other hand, in every group of these militia morons, there's likely one or two who are over the top and could go over the edge and start the shooting. That's the real danger here. Most don't fit that category, but all it would take is for one suicidal moron to fire one shot and the game would be on.
This is the risk, and the LEOs involved know that. It's a very difficult situation and the BLM handled it with a strategic retreat this time. The next time, I'm sure they'll have other plans and better support. But, the risk is still there of one idiot who gets trigger happy and doesn't give a shit what happens. That's going to the be ever-present danger in every one of these confrontations.

(12,272 posts)Just how many of these women are so oppressed that they would comply? Remember, in the LDS 'church', men are soon-to-be-gods and women are only allowed in heaven by his liege.

But, um, Mack . . . it actually makes you look like the ruthless one, you idiot. He also contends that the BLM is composed of rogue agents and that is why he is fighting back.

(18,186 posts)Wanting to provoke shooting women and children for whatever reason is just sick and twisted. Wanting to put your family in harm's way to have your way is just the sickest and most twisted mindset.
It's inhuman.
Only terrorists use these tactics, and then Joe Cornhole says it's because of their skin color?
Whites are "patriots" when they desire bloodshed.
Darker skinned people are "terrorists."
Neither has much regard for "family" or women or babies.
But don't mess with another guy's cows.
