Ferguson Black Lives Matter, Oath Keepers Fight as One

However, I do have a question. Would a bunch of black people be able to walk around armed and not get shot?

Location matters. I note black people in uniform in the Army do practice getting shot at by the enemy, though, so bear that in mind, aye?

Not really. At the rate black people are getting shot for toy guns and not being armed, there's no where I'd feel safe walking around with a weapon in plain view. Wearing a uniform shouldn't be the only option when white men can go to the airport with assault rifles that have 100 round drums attached and get to argue with law enforcement.

Anybody watch Glory?

[Darnell 8,478]

Me, ME ME !

Not really. [non pertinent stuff snipped]

Yes, really. It's a daily occurrence in Zimbabwe, groups of armed black men walking around with guns. Oh yeah, Kenya also.

How about here in our country? Since the article is talking about Ferguson...

[Darnell 8,478]

wait - why is Ferguson important? Black people destroyed it, who's going to fix it ?

Really? Because I don't remember being there. Janelle, were you there destroying Ferguson?

[Darnell 8,478]

apparently, if you don't attend the destruction groups per calendar, yer not a Black Person, Marv. Deal with it, aye?

Uhhhh, military men in military uniforms in a military location. OF COURSE!

Armed black people in a non-military location, no military uniform, in a group walking with guns.

Do you see the difference? This is unacceptable in America.

[Janelle2002 3,865]

Really? Because I don't remember being there. Janelle, were you there destroying Ferguson?

Nope. I live in Texas.

You live in Hawaii, yes?

How is it that we as black people can get blamed for s t u f f happening hundreds and thousands of miles away? You know this only happens to black people, Muslims and gays.

Are you for real?

What relevance do Zimbabweans and Kenyans have to African Americans? It would be like comparing white Americans to Russians or Serbians - irrelevant, nonsensical and racist. Why do you think it's OK to imply that black people are the same the world over? What relevance does that have to this thread.

From the OP:

"The side-goal of a potential armed rebellion isn't just theory among right-wing groups. While Duke University reported an average of nine annual Islamic terrorist attacks resulting in 50 fatalities since 9/11, West Point's Combating Terrorism Center has reported an average of 337 right-wing terrorist attacks per year and 254 fatalities since 9/11. The Global Terrorism Database of the University of Maryland also recorded just 24 Islamic extremist attacks on the US homeland since 9/11 while noting 65 right-wing terrorist attacks over the same period. The right-wing ideology, as shown by these data sets, has been more violent in the US than the widely-covered Islamic extremism that supposedly poses an existential threat to the US."

Oh snap!

Glad you finally read the article.

Armed Black Panthers March in Texas: ‘Off the Pigs

WALLER COUNTY, Texas — A group of armed members of the New Black Panther Party marched on the Waller County Jail Wednesday afternoon chanting “The revolution is on… Off the pigs,” and “Oink Oink… Bang Bang!” The group of about fifteen Black Panthers exercised their First and Second Amendment rights. The group was met in Waller County by a large contingent of Harris County (Houston) Sheriff’s Office deputies.

In order to avoid a repeat of last weekend’s disturbance where protesters invaded the Sheriff’s Office foyer and engaged in disruptive behavior, Waller County Sheriff R. Glenn Smith called the Harris County Sheriff’s Office to request assistance under a regional assistance agreement. Harris County sent in about seventy-five deputies including about ten horse mounted crowd-control deputies and approximately thirty crowd-control deputies in riot gear

The Black Panthers marched into the street in front of the jail chanting “Whose streets?… Our streets!” Many of the members of the group were armed with shotguns, hunting rifles and AR-15 style assault rifles. Most looked like they were simply holding the weapon they were carrying. One of the “soldiers” took a more aggressive grip on his weapon, holding his rifle with his finger “indexed” slightly above the trigger. This can be considered a “ready” position in a shooting situation..

During one of the chants the group shouted in a back and forth marching style cadence song:

The revolution is on, said the chant leader. Off the pigs, the group chanted back. The chant continues, Time to pick up the gun… Off the pigs. No more pigs in my community… Off the pigs. No more brothers in jail… Off the pigs. No more sisters in jail… Off the pigs. The pigs are gonna get scared… Off the pigs. The pigs are gonna get dead… Off the pigs.

Despite a very tense situation, no violence broke out and no one was arrested during the afternoon protest.
