One person in the crowd even asked Jenkins (Sgt Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department) if he was ready to die.

"I don't know his name. He was wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey. I'll never forget that," he said.

Better never forget that question. These Constitutional showdowns are coming again, and spoken or not, that question will also be hanging in the air again.

I recommend studying what happened in 1775. Do you really want to die being on the wrong side, as the British soldiers were?

“If you just have a backfire, somebody pops a firecracker, then it’s over.”

It took only three firecrackers at Kent State to get things rolling.

"But, the citizens who "outgunned" you held their fire."

That won't happen a second time. The regime will see to that. Boston Massacre - Kent State: somebody will say they "heard gunfire," and thus, the order given to "OPEN FIRE!"

” ... their fingers poised just above the triggers of powerful weapons.”
Unlikely—journo-histrionics unless the people were ready to pull the trigger on the feds.
Molon labe baby.

Never, never forget that our gummint will use whatever means it can to try to intimidate us. They backed down this time because THEY were intimidated. Expect helicopters, APCs and maybe even tanks from the Feds next time.

[Fear The People]

Unlike at Ruby Ridge or Waco where the feds got to murder citizens indiscriminately and without consequence.

Never again.

Read his comment again and you’ll see that the ‘peasants’ don’t matter to him.

[Mastador1]

"a lot of dead officers"

And a lot of dead peasants, as well.

Peasants, what peasants? Didn't you hear dingy harry, they were terrorists! Only in the liberal's version of America is a Citizen standing against injustice a terrorist, while a terrorist is a freedom fighter.

“....there were several Navy Seals that recently left the service showed up....”

Some of them there “extremists”?

[Balding_Eagle]

I recently read there are 170,000 certified federal SWAT agents. They have armored vehicles.

We can't really do anything about the proliferation of those vehicle to local communities.

We can do something about our reactions and attitudes.

I recommend beginning to think of those vehicles as resources for our side.

[Obadiah]

With so much firepower in so many hands, a small incident could have set off a bloodbath and left nearly two dozen officers dead.

Warms my heart and brings a smile to my face.

Nobody wants bloodshed, but this is exactly why the Second Amendment was added.

[Noamie]

Dude seems really focused on “how many dead officers” there would have been.

That’s all I need to know.

[elcid1970]

If you got a Steelers bumper sticker now, the Feds will run your plate.

[DJ Taylor]

Yes, this was a near disaster for the American people.

We must remember, but not for Timothy McVeigh in 1995, Bill Clinton would never have been re-elected in 1996, and this “Bundy” incident came very close to being a crisis from which the Democrats could have greatly profited in the coming mid-term election.

I can almost assure you, if such an incident doesn’t spontaneously occur between now and November, the Democrats will create one.

Read the comments at the original story link. The JBT cheerleaders are out in force. These anti-American people who still get to vote are the reason we’re in this mess now. Time to start taking names.

There were several ex-Navy SEALS in the “militia”? How did they know that? Oh, perhaps they were recognized by the “private contractors” the feds had hired on their side. Traitors!

“If one tiny mistake had been made, the community might be attending funerals for slain police officers, law enforcement officials said. Dozens of people could have been killed if shooting had broken out.

The I-Team has learned that those who were involved in threatening the lives of officers are not off the hook, even if it takes a year or more to resolve.”

Time for the OathKeepers to step forward.

Do not ever think that MRAPS are invincible. They have known weak points. And a certain type of cocktail doesn’t discriminate by vehicle type.

The jackboots are there for a) fun, and b) profit. Gear queer showing off and a paycheck.

The crowd was there for a) freedom, and b) rage. Our country is OURS and we haven't forgotten what happens when armed deadly force isn't aimed at tyrants who think they're entitled to murder.

Ruby Ridge and Waco led to Oklahoma City. I think you would find 100% of the "crowd" were fluent with all three events, and determined to prevent all three from ever happening again with their own blood.

Those are higher stakes than "check out my new Molle gear, dude, I'm gonna get more with the overtime from this".

[Logical me]

If you just have a backfire, somebody pops a firecracker, then it's over. We're done. We are going to lose that battle that day

King Obama, when you make your overthrow plans take notice. When Americans wake up you will fail.
