What's going to happen on this one, it is just a matter of time, they are going to cross the line with someone and then there is going to be a mass shooting that goes public.
One such mass shooting got covered up in Seattle, one guy shot five, lots of witnesses on the street, nobody wants to give accurate descriptions of what happened or come up with video.
Reminds me of another "confrontation" caught on video last year and of course, the video is now gone.
We also had the BLM/Strickland confrontation in Portland this last spring. In that, the opposition did not control all of the video feed, but as soon as police got Strickland's video camera, oh, that shit disappeared.
In both instances, it tells me that someone at a supervisory level is doing a legal audit on their liability before telling people it is OK to release video.
One of these though, is going to get out, and it will likely happen when someone really panic shoots and several bystanders go down.
That's exactly the sort of incident I really don't want any card carrying militia at. Maybe some individual CCW dude, but not an organization, or maybe Bikers For Trump can handle that kind of heat, but I am thinking, some shopkeeper, some old guy trying to evacuate, the rioters are going to fuck with someone, push it too far and a bunch get shot.
Then everyone is going to go scrambling for answers and here is what I KNOW will happen. Homies will get taught the hard way what the felony murder rules are in the state where it went down, and whether or not they spill their guts over who paid for them to be there, it will be obvious they are from out of town, and someone covered their expenses to get to the area of the operation.
Another possibility, they fuck with some protected organized crime establishment in an area they got bussed in to, and someone decides it time for a turf war.
Now if everybody goes full on hard core civil war it won't matter, but the more likely scenario is that everybody goes into shock, there is this big day of peace and mourning, and "everyone" agrees to shake hands and lay down their weapons. Then snitch off anything and everything. Multiple sides in the immediate area of the conflict will demand that ALL responsible be prosecuted, and it will climb right up the chains of command on all organizations whose actions, orders or policies contributed to the incident.
Somewhere in that mix, the next mass shooting and whatever causes it, is going to be the framework and narrative of Trump era gun control arguments. It is our job to make sure that if and when such an event does happen, we get solid information as quickly as possible and take the right position on it, with the default expectation that this isn't going to be some sicko shooting up a post office or shopping mall, it is likely to be either a grieving or fearful victim lashing out in the midst of an attack.
