There aren't decent citizens protesting an injustice; these are hooligans, theives and opportunistic criminals and they deserve no respect and no quarter given if they step off. At this point, I'd be fine with the police and the national guard using live ammunition against them. "Pacify them with buck and ball" if that's what it takes to restore order and protect the decent local people and their property.
Sadly, they don't let me be in charge of such things. Pity, because the airstrikes and artillery that I'd call in on massed targets would be totally awesome.
On a somewhat more restrained platform, Mas Ayoob suggests using fire trucks to soak the criminals, an especially appealing tactic if the temps stay below freezing.
OK, maybe I could go with that as a fallback. Or just having helicopters fly over and showering them with soap and job applications. Those things always make wanna-be anarchists and millenial Obama supporters run away shrieking.
Heck, if the powers that be won't take my advice and use napalm, they should at least consider some bucket-equipped trash trucks.
Oh, and to the anonymous cowards offering $5K for Officer Darren Wilson's location, he's at Lagniappe's Lair. Come on over, bitches. The watchdogs've got something for ya.
I SOOOO want to catch a plane. Come to your place. Watch the scum take on those two.

They are loons, I tell ya! Makes my blood boil.
ReplyDeleteBRAVO!
ReplyDeleteThey wouldn't even have to hit them directly with the hoses. Just point up and over so the water just rains down on them. Particularly at night, when it's down below freezing.
ReplyDeleteApparently, agitators in Baltimore and D.C. are setting up to have their own demonstrations, as well.
Fire hoses work... Just sayin... and Fog Nozzles work even better in this kind of weather! :-)
ReplyDeletewondered about the use of fire fighting foam in zero-ish temps. soak, chill and impede movement?
ReplyDeleteThere are indeed a lot of people there who have been protesting, not looting. They have been exercising their Constitutional rights to free speech and assembly, rights that it has taken repeated trips to court to get the cops in Ferguson to respect.
ReplyDeleteI would like to assume that the comments in this post, and by the various commenters, are made by people who would agree with the concept that First Amendment rights belong to all Americans, not just to those who you agree with.
Comrade, if we are speaking of the exercising the right to free speech I have no problem. That does not include vandalizing, harming individuals nor looting. Just saying.
DeleteI have no problem at all with speech and dissent. It's one of the things that I love most about this country regardless of the opinion of the speaker because we're all equal there. But I draw the line at property damage, theft, violence, and interference with other people who are just trying to go about their own lives (blocking roads and other such nonsense). That crosses the line and it needs to be put down hard. Speak away, but break the law and go to jail.
DeleteComrade, peaceful protest away. Brick through a window and you are done, especially since shopkeepers there have discovered that their insurance won't pay for it.
DeleteProtest GOOD - Damage BAD!

A pass or two by Puff The Magic Dragon would be nice
ReplyDeleteLiving 25 miles from the Uber-Liberal Bastion of Cleveland, Ohio, I just take being "Prepared" as just another chore. Guns clean, check. Ammo topped off, check, Magazines Loaded and placed in "Go To" Webbing, check. Food Supplies, check. Gasoline in Cars...Things to Do Today.
ReplyDeleteToo Bad being ready for the Shit Hitting The Fan has to be a Daily Routine in the U.S.A.
Im with Rick Street on that also nothing so crude as a brick a good stone picked up in the garden fired from a catapult will break the windows just as well if not better than a brick and dont ask me how i know was a very very long time ago.
