DHS deploying in Homeland with weapons of war (MRAP APCs)

The sighting of a Department of Homeland Security Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) at a gas station near Ybor City, Fla. on Wednesday is raising questions, concerns and fears about what the federal government is foreseeing in terms of likely needs for such armed and armored transports.

Compounded by the administration’s now “on the radar” push to further restrict civilian firearm ownership, the recent controversy over the potential use of drones over American soil to kill citizens without due process, and a longstanding and documented train of abuses tied to the militarization of law enforcement activities, those who keep an eye on such things are noticeably distressed. In the absence of once-pledged administration transparency and a vigorous and motivated watchdog press, civil libertarians are left with only speculation, and some are wondering if the predictable result, keeping activists on edge, is intentional.

If the government is so worried about a civil disturbance, why are they working so hard to disturb us?

[onedoug]

No help from the House, that’s for sure.

Good question. You would almost think they were instigating a civil crisis. You know, the kind they’d need to calm down with martial law. Once and done, goodbye freedom, goodbye Constitution.

It may be that IF they ever start reducing the fraud and waste of Welfare/EBT, they are preparing for the inevitable inner-city tribal parasites’ assault on suburbia, taking what they “Have a Right to”, as they’ve been told we have to “Share”, and cutting their funding would force the crack-users to seek another source of income....gun sales are at an all-time high for a reason; people will protect their families and property when all Hell breaks loose.

So, who exactly is planting IED’s in Ybor City? Or are they just getting ready for an acquital in the martyr trayvon vs citizen Zimmerman case.

The unmitigated gall to put an American flag on that Gestapo Ghettomobile.

UP...

Thanks for the website link.
Now that I finally have a good mobile phone, I’m on the lookout.

Hegelian dialectic.

[Salamander]

Yeah.

These are here for Holder’s people.

Right.

[Mouton]

Exactly. To me putting the symbol of the US on a vehicle like that, a symbol for many fought and died for freedom, really fired me up when I saw that picture.

You cannot put lipstick on a pig and make it any better IMO.

[Dutch Boy]

Martial law will result in a very noticeable civilian asymmetric response.

Surely some reporter can just look into this and write a simple article clarifying the facts.

Why do we keep seeing the same speculation and rumors repeated endlessly rather than just a simple factual article, how old is this story by now?

How about “Running wolf” does he sound credible to you, more or less credible than “Modern Survival blog”?

[PowderMonkey]

DHS vs 90 million heavily armed and upset American citizens. Does the name “Custer” mean anything to these clowns?

[Travis McGee]

You are waiting for a "real" reporter at a "real" newspaper or network to report on this topic, before you will take it seriously?

Did I miss your /sarcasm tag?

Or are you just that blissfully naive and trusting in the MSM?
