#7  Except they are regulated. By the 1789 militia and national guard act.

#6  This is on the front page of the WAPO: "The gunshots... have set off public outcry denouncing the unregulated militia group's presence..."
I suspect that if these guys were Antifa that headline would be a touch different.

#5  "Your heritage is illegitimate - because I say so..." is a game everyone can play. Maybe that's the path to "equality."

#4  Wait till these white 'kids' meet up with come of the Hispanic gangs running around. The 'militia' is the least of their problems.

#3  The mayor abandoned the place so no cops were present. They had to be called in after the fact.

BTW, the statue is of the first Spanish governor of the place. They've removed it now. The Donks just alienated a good part of the Hispanic community in their pursuit of virtue signaling.

The natives have animus towards the original gove cause after they killed his son and a siege of the pueblo where it happened, he had several adult males relieved of one of their feet. At that time in history, the Spanish were known to put the entire male population down in rebellious towns in the Low Counties. So, within that context, he was being rather humane.

#2  And I'm afraid that when it happens, the left will realize that they have used up every last drop of mercy and compassion that the right had. Once you drive them to that point, the right will not be interested in surrender or prisoners or being nice anymore. The Left is in for a nasty nasty shock, because Americans are not Germans or French or the Europeans that roll over.

#1  The leftist morality police and government are in full show here in New Mexico.

The only reason the right has been peaceful and support the police is their belief that most are good and for the most part the rule of law will give them a fair shake.

The second they lose that belief, they will start shooting. That moment is dangerously close.
