The motto of the actual Army Infantry is "Follow Me!"

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

If there is something stupid to say, get these nut jobs, they are happy to show their intelligence.

But the word we traditionally use for people who use those tactics is "terrorist".

"he would have allowed his own wife and daughters to be shot as human shields because it would look bad for the federal government on television" it is time to call the divorce lawyer and Child Protective Services.

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.

and his daughters are suing for emancipation. If this was my husband or father, I would have just lost all respect I had for him.

And any wife or daughter that would go to the front line needs to have their head examined.

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.

Mack was born in 1952[5] in Arizona.[1] He is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and attended Brigham Young University.[6]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Mack

Mack said. “If they’re going to start killing people, I’m sorry, but to show the world how ruthless these people are, women needed to be the first ones shot.”


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.

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.
