Yeah, most libs like “social policy” that makes them feel good about themselves,

but, in my example, they’ll deny that they are advocating sticking a gun in the face of those that are being forced to pay for “their” act of beneficence.

When you try to logically walk them through the process, they get to the point where they virtually or literally stick their fingers in their ears and sing “la la la la”.

If I were one of these guards that’s exactly what I would do to tweak these liberal clowns.

These kinds of security forces are common in Third World countries but they don’t belong in northern Wisconsin,” Jauch and Bewley said in a press release.

Can't have any restriction on the right of Labor Goons to riot.

I agree, that 2D model is incorrectly oriented.

-——Only gov’t “law enforcement” are allowed to dress this way. -—

No, not true

Richard Trumka’s terrorist United Mine Workers not only dressed that way but put their wives and mothers and children in the same clothing in the 1988/89 SW Virginia coal strike

Miners know Trumka is a terrorist and expect the worst

Yea, I don’t like that one either. The “Left” is directly between total Statism and the “Right”

And what is “The Center”? The Left and the Right are already the center between Statism and Libertarians.

I see your point, but I think it is more insightful and more instructional to the low information citizen to forget about what, why, or how totalitarians lord over people. Everyone has something that they would rather not relinquish to the state. For us on FR, that something is most everything.

You obviously don’t understand drillers...they wouldn’t have to be paid.

Exactly! I live close to all of this and the “pristine” land they all talk about is no such thing. From what I have heard today the security teams are not just standing guard they are doing recon. In fact, I heard that one of them walked out of the woods into an eco-nazi camp and said “hello” and they immediately fled! They are even wearing ghillie suits to get info on their locations. About damn time we fought them back. If you are from Wisconsin you would understand that this is war!

Oh, I understand them well enough. You miss my point, I think.

When the drillers are on "my" (speaking as the mine owner) worksite, I'm paying them to drill. I'm not paying them to thump hippies, regardless of how much they enjoy thumping hippies. If they're thumping hippies instead of drilling, I'm not getting my money's worth. It may well be more advantageous to me (as an owner and employer) to hire private security to keep the hippies off-site than to have my drillers constantly being interrupted by the need to thump another hippie.

Apparently, the actual mine owner in this case sees it the same way.

“they can’t arrest anyone”

Yes, they can. Private property.

Please note that this land is privately held managed forest, which means the property owner gets a tax break and in return the land IS open to the public...so it is not private property as we know it.

The one thing about government land claims, such as gold claims, is that a person can treat the property as private property. I suspect this company has a claim that is delineated by boundaries that they can operate as private property so long as the claim is open.
