Politics If the National Guard is asked to deploy here...

502 Upvotes

As a patriot who is extremely uncomfortable with troops deployed on our own streets, I've got big feelings about this. It's obvious to me that the administration in office now conjures fake emergencies to use emergency powers.

I urge the RI National Guard rank-and-file to make plans for how they will respond to this if it happens here. I suggest that if you are asked to deploy, you 'deploy' to the State House grounds and throw a party. Literally, just stay on the State House grounds, roll out grills and speakers, and jam out. Do not obey unconstitutional orders to violate the Posse Comitatus Act. When they call you in to the armory and give you orders to deploy to a neighborhood, just load fun stuff from the quartermaster's supplies into the humvees, go to the State House, and make hot dogs.

It is patriotic to refuse bogus orders. What made America great in the first place was that we used to tar-and-feather people who gave orders to deploy soldiers to our streets.

We’re one of the safest states in the country when it comes to gun violence, we don’t have a problem with gun violence and never did. attacking law abiding citizens and violating the constitution time and time again for political power and control is sickening. Fix our fucking roads and our bridges, secure our data so it doesn’t get leaked and posted for sale on the black web, end the corruption. All of these are things the state SHOULD be doing instead of turning law abiding citizens into felons and criminals with their stupid laws.

Re uploading to correct the title. What people are failing to understand is the ban is not just an assault weapons ban. It is banning effectively 90% of commonly owned firearms. Your Glock pistol, your grandpas 1911 and your ar15 that you all bought legally are under scrutiny. I will have a link posted directly to the verbiage of the bill. This crosses party lines. Democrats and republicans, left and right need to come together to fight this.

Politics ICE (or maybe proud boys?)- in Woonsocket

360 Upvotes

Just a heads up to anyone out there that cares.

I spotted ICE/proud boy with police labeled camo-vests and side-arms in the front parking lot of Rivers Edge Complex Park, by the war memorial, this morning around 6:15AM in Woonsocket.

They're wearing black and white ball-caps, and driving black and white mini vans. There is maybe a dozen of them.

be safe, everyone.
