Virginia declares emergency Militias threaten to seize Gov.

[Rojava Free State]

They didn’t get much sympathy after Charlottesville why would Richmond be any different? A much more diverse and the state capital.

Because Charlottesville was a bunch of Nazis lol

Btw everyone got mad at trump for saying there were violent people on all sides despite the fact that technically he was right. After all, antifa was in Charlottesville too, but I guess it's ok when antifa violently assaults everybody and runs rampant

[Loben The 2nd]

Yeah, shitting on people's enumerated negative rights is the right thing to do, because he's such a loving authoritarian and all.

B-b-b-but guns are dangerous and only criminals would own them...


...And the army and police

"we shouldnt trust cops but they should also be the only ones to be armed despite public distrust against them."

nice going, guys. sound logic.

[Gormwood]

How many people here anticipate that this showdown is going to be as big as the Battle of Hoth figuratively speaking?

The Rebels had to get the fuck out of Hoth.

[The Lone Alliance]

Antifa is siding with the militias here, I believe.

Because they want to disarm Antifa just as much as they want to disarm everyone else.

We sure are throwing up a lot of strawmen today.

So how many people did antifa run over with a car?

Beating people with hammers and bike locks and shooting at Steve scalise along with trying to firebombna a detention center all equate to that kind of behavior

But please tell me why communists are not as bad as fascists

[Gormwood]

strategic victory.

Dunkirk was a victory too then?

no need to repeat yourself

[Loben The 2nd]

strategic victory.

Dunkirk was a victory too then?

in the grand scheme of things yes.

You had to put together several unrelated incidents to say they equal the Charlottesville Mr. Mercedes. Desperation there.

[Gormwood]

in the grand scheme of things yes.

You can see into the future too. Nice.

That wasn't even what Trump was talking about. In context his statement was pretty clearly about the statue debate, not the events at Charlottesville.

strategic victory.

Dunkirk was a victory too then?

100% it was. There's a very real chance the British could have been forced to the negotiation table if the BEF had been destroyed. Instead they just lost a bunch of equipment but managed to get out of dodge.

[The Rurkovich Imperium]

strategic victory.

Dunkirk was a victory too then?

To be fair, that has been argued before. And rather romanticized at that.

[Loben The 2nd]

in the grand scheme of things yes.

You can see into the future too. Nice.

Hindsight.

[Salandriagado]

Why not? They've committed the crime, in threatening a terrorist attack. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the whole group of them to reveal themselves at once so you can arrest them all conveniently.

I'm shocked given your radical view on what constitutes slavery, you'd be excited at police state tactics being brought out. Truly the hypocrisy of your positions has no end!

Arresting people who mount terrorist attacks on your capitol is not "police state tactics".

how is a protest a terrorist attack.

[Salandriagado]

I don't, no. The police evidently do.

Seeing as none of said evidence has come to light, only the word of a Gov who's known to be an unbelievable git himself, I can't with good conscience take his word for it. Especially since the other side (as already posted here) has openly denounced violence at the rally and is telling people to peacefully protest via non compliance at the rally.

Rather a lot of violent events arise from a radical subset of an otherwise non-violent group of protestors.

Hindsight.

That comes across too much like an armchair historian's approach to history.

[San Lumen]

He is doing the right thing to keep people safe and his approval rating is around 50 percent last I saw not that it matters to this situation

Yeah, shitting on people's enumerated negative rights is the right thing to do, because he's such a loving authoritarian and all.

No ones rights are being infringed upon. The executive and legislature were elected in a free and Fair election. These groups don’t have the right to attempt a coup

Just because you don't like a right doesn't mean it ceases to be a right.

just the right to bear arms.

you know.

the one you seemed to be so scared of.

[Salandriagado]

Why not? They've committed the crime, in threatening a terrorist attack. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the whole group of them to reveal themselves at once so you can arrest them all conveniently.

when a militia shows up, it's not as easy as arrest them all. Sometimes you gotta bring in the military

Sure: the relevant security forces will see off any terrorist attacks. After that, they can arrest the surviving attackers at their leisure.

[Vetalia]

I'm pretty sure the plan isn't to attempt a coup, considering that is impossible.
