In case you were concerned that the situation in Ferguson, Missouri, might get unpleasant as people mark the one-year anniversary of the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, you can put those worries to rest now: The Oath Keepers have brought their message of paramilitary peace through superior firepower to the streets.
Unless we're lucky I just can't see this ending well. We've been lucky so far but that doesn't mean we will keep being lucky. People with guns are dangerous if those people are stupid enough to insert themselves into a tense situation like this and lecture folks on how they should be demonstrating the chances of something very very bad happening get very good.
Must be an interesting conversation to have with your boss when asking for a few days off: "Oh, I am going to do the critical work of standing around Missouri somewhere with my 'team' making the streets safe." To which the boss says...
no, 5 miles away from me a home invasion happened, and the residents were murdered. i already have had people stealing things from outside of my house. response times for the sheriff dept. is 30-60 minutes. do you really think crime only happens in the city? i don't worry about imaginary threats, just the real ones.
Just what we need. A cluster phuck of armed psychos under the control and direction of paranoid lunatic conspiracy nut job Alex Jones. That conforms fairly well with one of my main nightmare scenarios.
Shouldn't an Ivy League educated lawyer and ex-soldier have better gumption than to start an 'organization' such as this?
Y'know, what those "Oathkeepers" really need are discreet, neat uniforms, maybe brown would be a good color.
The swastika armband is options.

Don't forget-you were in fear for your life, too. Few things are more intimidating than unarmed black men.

And few want to talk about the prequel.
i'm sayin. i live alone, in the country. if i called the cops for a problem, by the time they got here, it would be to clean up the mess.
yes.
uhh...freikorps doesn't translate to oath keepers. my german is not the best, but schwurwarter, is close to oath keeper.

There are, but only back in their rooms, when these guys get together.
Are you trying to make my students look bad?
