I support these, ...Wannabe militia's or not ... I support these, and each one support's their own local territorial area's, so in a country so geographically large, many more militia's are needed (in my opinion), you see Demeur, these (what we call) "militia's are not ONLY about fighting or combat, these are many of those who volunteer to help and rescue in disaster's, rebuild communities (carpentry, plumbing, electrical, construction, etc, etc) with their skill's, help feed those in their communties when the government in an emergency state would NOT be able to, or even get to them as example etc, .... so you see my point on the importance of these folk's regardless if their outgunned or not, you seen the mess post Katrina as example or any other emergency such as the other week in West(TX), or those first responder's at 9/11. etc ... those heroes are in large number just people/ folk's from the various communities around the nation, many volunteer's, many also affiliated even with these folk's in local militia's, as well as local community churches etc, ... a large interwoven network of American's for American's basically, when gvmnt cant be there for us, we need to be there for ourselves, bottom line. "IF" also a government or branch of were to get infected by tyrannical/ criminal element's ... when push come's to shove, I believe that many of our own U.S. military would choose the side of the people in the end, and do what is necessary by natural thought and instinct to protect and preserve our nation, because they would see simply "truth" ... unlike the political posse in Washington for instance ... these men and women for the most part are "real", they put their neck's and lives on the line ... they have more integrity, discipline, etc in other word's and are more honest, which is the foundation spirit of this democracy as well as their training and what they pledge to. Summing up some of these mulitia people who care about our nation and people (our tribe) as just redneck radicalist's or whatever Demeur in my opinion is somewhat unfair, labelling patriotic folk's as just lunatic's or whatever, some people do really love their nation and sincerly care about it with all their heart, and as I said ... have been there in just about every emergency situation we had coast to coast, many are even former military officer's and veteran's, so you see my point Sir ... you cant just sum them up as a one size fit's all, over a few bad apple's or lunatic's is all I'm saying.<br /><br />As far as the info that was put out and the scanner thing ... I take it your in Seattle/ Portland area of the country ... but you had a scanner working for law enforcement frequency in Massachussetts? perhap's I read it wrong ... but no Demeur, I wasnt talking about scanner's either ... I was talking about the radio media broadcast's that went out over the public airwaves via radio, internet and tele during the pursuit ... the suspect's wouldnt have even needed a scanner or a computer, simply just listen to the news.<br /><br />Thank You for your input here Demeur too, have a good un ....Ranch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010628715012863388.post-16779253736915749242013-04-27T12:28:30.448-05:002013-04-27T12:28:30.448-05:00I'd have to take issue with this belief that a...I'd have to take issue with this belief that a bunch of guys with pee shooters could some how over take our military. That said it would be a matter of who controlled the military. Militia's? There is only one militia and that's the national guard anything else is a bunch of military wannabes. <br /><br />As to the suspect he wasn't too smart. He should have figured they'd be tracking him with everything in their arsenal. I listened to the boston police scanner while this was going on. They didn't give any information that would have helped him.<br /><br /><br />As to building an explosive device anybody with half a brain can figure that out.

I first got online about 5 year's back or so, and that is one of the first thing's I noticed even on here. Yeah, that's the flip side of the freedom of speech and press I reckon when you can teach folk's how to create/ make bomb's, who need's to be taken out or killed, etc, etc ... that is also why especially online ... I would definitely support law making anyone who write's or post's themselves on video's on YouTube or whatever, to have to identify themselves, not use these fictional moniker's, character's or anonymous, etc, etc ... and THAT is not denying anyone the freedom to voice/ write their opinion ... it is just saying that you must identify yourself ... say what you want ... but dont hide in other word's, there are too many channel's online that teach thing's and even talk about thing's that are very sensitive as far as what and can bring harm to other's ... if you want to post and say shit ... identify yourself, that make's it simple ... and it is fair and freedom too. <br /><br />I noticed during the chasedown/ search in suburbia Boston afterward's ... when law enforcement found out who they were and put an APB on them ... the news media was actually giving step by step detail's right on the tele and radio even ... of the strategies they are using to capture them, from GPS system's to cell phone trace's etc, etc ... in detail at that ... what the fuck is wrong with these media's that do that? that is about as dumb as stating the retreat deadline of your force's during a battle ... I was thinking as I heard it on the car radio ... all the suspect's have to do is listen to the bloody radio to know how their being tracked ... geeezz! Is the media that concerned with being the "first" to get the story out?<br /><br />Hey Jim ...

We had hundreds of first responders<br />EMT, all kinds of help. The more stories I hear, the more I am heartened.<br /><br />We would of had many more dead if they were not there. To me insult was added to injury by teaching all the nuts out there how Joe blow can make a deadly IED under the rarar.jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010628715012863388.post-65881002554320421772013-04-26T13:28:36.592-05:002013-04-26T13:28:36.592-05:00I wasnt sure at all about statistic's in any o...I wasnt sure at all about statistic's in any of this Demeur, but no doubt I myself have seen plenty of foul usage of gun's as far as in the home, especially suicide's, accident's etc ... this is a difficult issue for me Demeur ... you see, I had gun's as a kid too, but not for defense or related but for sport, just like throwing knives, and archery, etc, etc ... I have alwayz since probably as young as 8 or so, just loved target type practice, honing the skill's like an art of sort, I would (and still do) go to these Fair's for instance and just love plinking, shooting target's, etc ... even have the old Atari you may remember, of just the Duck Hunt game etc, etc ... so it's also like a sport to me, if that make's sense, I dont think much about thing's like trying to kill myself or other's, so it's difficult for me to understand that way of thought ... if defense is needed ... well ... it's simply needed ... if it's a gun or whether it's martial art's ... I leave that choice to the individual. But no doubt gun's are NOT for everyone. I still do feel that there is a need though for defense in the home or on the street, in a town like Dallas for instance, there is a Hell of alot of home invasion type crime's as example, more increasing than I have ever seen in previous year's, maybe due to the tighter economy and unemployment, dope usage or whatever, I dont know. <br /><br />But I appreciate your view's here on this Demeur, I just dont know how to answer alot of this or the solution, I WASNT against the proposed tighter restriction's though, even though many NRA folk's whined over it.<br /><br />And I also still support inde militia's ... I am not refering to radicalization type stuff, but simply to embrace the principle of the 2nd amendment is all, in a free type nation that is drive especially by profit more strongly, I believe that it is necessary to have defense against tyrannical possibilities, look at some of these poor folk's these dayz in nation's where they disarmed them and the brutality of state against them just for trying to voice their opinion, or trying to protect simply worker's right's and protection's even in a country like India the other day, etc<br /><br />Later Demeur ....Ranch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010628715012863388.post-26189186223219714082013-04-26T11:44:19.125-05:002013-04-26T11:44:19.125-05:00Well if you've read my blog at all you must kn...Well if you've read my blog at all you must know that I like to go with the odds. Which is probably why I'm still breathing as we speak. The odds say that the more guns we have in this country the more apt people are to use them. That's just a statistical fact. Another fact is that only a handful of burglars have been shot while breaking into somebody's home. More than likely a gun is used in the home to shoot a spouse or other relative.<br /><br />Another fact is the rise in murder suicides which seems to be caused by our economic conditions. None the less they're all being done with guns. There was a time for a need for guns when we all lived in a country setting and wild bears and other nasties had greater numbers but those days are long gone. Even your odds of getting robbed or mugged are pretty slim these days unless you frequent dangerous areas on a regular basis. And I doubt seriously if I could get the drop on anybody these days. <br /><br />So maybe it's time to fix the real problem. That would be educating people to the realities and teaching our kids that maybe there's a better way to resolve problems than with lethal force.Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.com
