Incredible graphic footage of Ukrainian protestors coming under sniper fire from government forces.

“How long before we see the same thing here?”

Good question. WHY are they out in the streets in Kiev, but not in Washington, D.C.? Maybe we still have some faith left in our government institutions?

No aspiring American tyrant would ever be willing to run the risk of provoking an armed uprising.

Really Sooo you think Obama is not hoping and trying to prevaricate some form of insurrection So that he can declare Matial LAw..... DO YOU.. ?...

Looks to me like he’s doing everything he can to force this..
And he seems to be ratcheting up the pressure for this..
So far “the sheep” have Not bolted and stampeded..

But it’s coming.. AND if NOT.. He will produce a false flag operation to insure it.. it WILL happen..
By hook or crook... it may close to happening NOW...

Actually some of the recent mass murders may have been false flag events..
You know like the Kennedy assassination.. and the obvious Vince Foster affair..
Which were really just try outs.. test cases..
Armed uprisings by the rubes can be easily handled..

You don’t know much about tyrants do you..?
Cloward-Piven is absolutely BRILLIANT...
And working like clockwork.. thats is not “their” ONLY gambit either..

And you think the citizens of Texas, Arizona, Missouri or Idaho will act like the people in Massachusetts or New York? Oh, some will, no doubt. But most of them?

In this context, it's worth noting that over 85% of the gunowners in Connecticut defied the state law requiring registration of "assault rifles".

excellent post.

Thanks for all you’ve written in this post. Excellent.

Astounding footage. It really gave me a real view of how committed the Ukrainian protestors are - that damned sniper kept shooting those guys along that street relentlessly. Must have killed twenty or more in plain view. The protestors weren't armed and they certainly weren't returning fire, just dragging off their casualties and filling the ranks until the next guys were shot.

It was hard to watch. Wish I could've been there with my damn rifle. That sniper would've paid.

makes me want to turn any guns I may have over to our own over reaching federal gub mint.

[Joe Boucher]

This will happen here WHEN the over reaching HATED federal gub mint attempts to confiscate our guns.

“It really gave me a real view of how committed the Ukrainian protestors are...”

Yes - RIP. I hope that they have not died in vain, and that the freedom they hopefully gain does not lead them into other chains. But it is amazing what a mass of committed people can do - even mostly unarmed and untrained.

Their president gave into all of their demands, released the former PM that was imprisoned, the police are gone, and he has reportedly fled the country.

It’s not just about the number of firearms, its about *fire in the belly*. These guys in the Ukraine, have fire, even if they don’t have many firearms... yet. After watching this video, and the one above, they aren’t giving in! Not so sure there’s that many Americans with this kind of fire. I hope I’m a wrong, but I hope we never have to find out.

Incredible video. Those guys were pinned down by that sniper, and they kept getting picked off... From 14 minutes in to 18 minutes, they were getting picked off like flies. Frightening how much damage one sniper can do. Btw, I'll bet those snipers were brought in from east Ukraine... somewhere that is loyal to Russia. These guys being shot, are locals. The shooters? Foreign, so they don't care about the people they are shooting.

A very disturbing video that will soon be recorded here in the final days of the free United States.

This video clearly shows what the Marxist in Chief has in store for us and the basic reason HOMELAND SECURITY was formed. Security for the government....not security for the people.

I’ve resigned myself to the fact that we will have an armed revolution sometime in the near future for our country and the free people will lose.

It’s a shame to see what has happened to our country. You have to be old (like myself) to really know what life was back in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s to actually compare the differences between then and now.

We have become a country of “what can I do for myself” to one that asks “what can my country do for me.”

The result is political slavery.

[FBD]

They're starting to get weapons of their own. This guy was picking off the government snipers. Rumor has it that President Yanukovich has left Kiev, he's on the way out.

So What you are saying rarestia is they are taking Progressive steps here?

Too Big a Push and they get an Equal and Opposite Push Back, but do it slowly and your push back is just as slow and small.

I am 9 years younger than you and I see this.

The problem is as soon as the Olympics are over, Putin will send troops into the Ukraine. He will not lose his influence over the Ukraine if he can help it. As to the Ukrainians, they want no part anymore of being an annex of the old Soviet Union.

First Ukrainians suffered under Stalin, and their population was decimated by starvation under him; then came Hitler and his fascist regime, then after Germany lost in comes the Russians and Commie rule all over again. The Ukrainians are sick and tired of being ruled by commie/fascists. They want to be ruled by themselves.

The Ukraine seeks out the EU that could give them a more protective umbrella, more capitalism, and more freedoms. Too bad the EU is socialist also, although much more mildly, a socialist democracy so to speak, therefore a lot less horrid than what the Ukrainians have had to deal with in the past.

I don’t know if the Ukrainians will succeed in escaping the Russian orbit, but I so admire the fight they are putting up for freedom. Will we do the same thing if the time comes? Will we let our forefathers and the principles upon which our Republic is based, down? I sure hope not.

I’m not sure I could find more than a half dozen able-bodied men and women in my immediate neighborhood who’d be willing to stand up with small arms against an increasingly militarized police state with MRAPs, thermal imaging on helicopters, drones, etc.

We'd never stand a chance against the Regime going straight up against them. That would be suicide. However, following a strategy of asymmetrical warfare, we'd be unstoppable.

After watching this video, and the one above, they aren’t giving in!

***
Did not watch the video. I couldn’t look, so I don’t know what is the age of the people shown.

But I just want to add that a poster yesterday put up a thread that included several still shots. As he pointed out, the world should see one of the shots that showed old people participating in a line that was passing cobblestones for building barricades for the protests.
