Photos show border militias moving across Texas

[herding cats]

It's a slide show, so you'll have to go to the article to view the pictures if you're interested. I will say I found photo #16 was telling of the mindset of the idiots there.


This one is mild compared to some of them.

SAN ANTONIO – Photos showing dozens of members of the militia groups on the U.S.-Mexico border carrying semi-automatic rifles and wearing masks, camouflage and tactical gear provide one of the first glimpses into the group's activities on the border.

Members of the militia groups, who say they have 10 active "teams" along the state's southern border, are seen at campsites, walking along the Rio Grande River, pointing rifles and pistols out of frame and flipping off the camera in the photos obtained by the San Antonio Express-News.

In an interview with the Express-News, Chris Davis, commander of the militia's "Operation Secure Our Border: Laredo Sector", who is seen in some of the photos, said members would secure the border in a "legal and lawful manner."

However, in a since-deleted 21-minute YouTube video of Davis, he said: "How? You see an illegal. You point your gun dead at him, right between his eyes, and you say, 'Get back across the border or you will be shot.'"

Maybe we'll get lucky and the heat will force them back to their air conditioned home "bases" before they hurt someone.

1. Codpiece Faux Army. nt

[madamesilverspurs]

5. Perfect.

And I'll be borrowing that!

[herding cats]

29. Stick some camo and flack jackets on them and it's perfect.

[randys1]

2. All of these children in adult bodies need to be arrested, immediately

but they wont be because they are mostly white str8t males and therefore can do anything they want

when the rest of us get so sick of this we wont tolerate it, things will change, as long as we do nothing, it will get worse

[mikeysnot]

3. And they wonder why we call them gun nuts.

So easily manipulated and led.

Mention a problem, call it a crisis and the low lying fruits will foam at the mouth at the ring of the bell.

[Mnemosyne]

4. The guy with his face painted white seems to think he's in a video game. assholes. nt

[santamargarita]

6. They were all milk monitors in school.

[MohRokTah]

7. "Three-percenters" flying their own made up flag

[one_voice]

9. Is 'three percenters' what they call themselves?

if so why? I've not seen that before.

This is the first time I've seen that flag. Imagine the shit fit that would take place if a Liberal changed the flag.

[MohRokTah]

11. They call themselves that.

It stems from the claim that only 3 percent of the colonists were involved in the American Revolution.

[one_voice]

12. Oh. Thank you..

I didn't know that. Going to read more about them.

[Richard D]

37. I thought . . .

. . . it referred to their position on the bell graph of (lack of) intelligence.

[Lochloosa]

13. Oh they are real alright...

They have a pretend facebook page but I'm not posting the link

18. Interesting. Thank you. n/t

[geardaddy]

21. It's interesting that they call it a club.

If they're serious, why don't they call it a party or a movement? Club sounds like a hobby.

14. The Nyberg Flag

From the 'Historical Flags of Our Ancestors' web site ... 'Modern American Protest and Message Flags'
http://www.loeser.us/flags/protest.html

Nyberg Battle Flag of the Three Percent 2009

Oath Keepers and III Percent Patriots
The Nyberg flag, named after right-wing activist Gail Nyberg, who apparently designed it, is being sold at the "Sipsey Street Irregulars" website. Based on the belief that during the American Revolution, the active forces in the field against the King's tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the colonists, militia groups calling themselves by such names as the "Three Percenters," (Threepers), the "Sipsey Street Irregulars", and the "Oath Keepers" (led by Nevada lawyer Stewart Rhodes, a former staffer of Congressman Ron Paul), have sprung up expressing the belief that any attempt at gun control is unconstitutional and violating their second amendment rights. These groups claim to be the new three-percenters who "the Founders counted on to save the Republic when everyone else abandoned it."

These extreme "anti-gun control" (or "pro-second amendment&quot gun owners, claim to be preparing to "defend" themselves and "their right to bare [sic] arms" against perceived "enemies, foreign and domestic," and who warn all those they call "collectivists" (those who favor gun control "control&quot , to leave them and their guns alone. The Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League have labeled these groups as anti-government, extremists, and racists.

The Oath Keepers, founded on March 2009 by Stewart Rhodes (a Yale Law graduate and former US Army paratrooper) were incorporated in Las Vegas as a non-profit corporation. They advocate their members disobey any orders that they are given if they believe they violate the Constitution of the United States. Supposably made up of present and former servicemen, police, and firefighters, the Oath Keepers include chapters in many states across America. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has reportedly been seen sporting an Oath Keepers patch.

16. Thanks for this.

I know who the Oath Keepers are guess I never really paid attention to their flag. They are a nasty bunch.

I agree they are extremists.

8. First time something goes wrong...

ARMY rejects leading people great......

[earthside]

10. Football season starts in a few weeks ...

... and most of these 'army men' will be back in their garages watching the NFL on their big screens.

I find their outfits rather amusing ... like 'professional' wrestlers with guns.

I don't understand why these guys aren't forming-up a volunteer legion to go fight ISIS in Iraq if they so badly want to protect 'Murica. (Ha! The ISIS fighters would shoot back -- no danger from kids and women crossing the border).

Here is one of these guys in his natural state:

[NightWatcher]

15. they finally found a group they're not scared of fighting....8 year old refugees

[upaloopa]

17. I think if they are not vets, and I would

suggest vets like myself would not want to play army, they would never really put themselves in harm's way.
I my opinion they feel they have the upper hand but if a group of militant drug lords decided to take them on there would be a need for clean undies in camp.

[Brother Buzz]

19. Members claiming to be with the Bolinas Border Patrol are phonies

No way a bunch of beatniks and hippies would EVER be associated with these assholes. Someone to dumb and unimaginative to create their own usurped the name.

[geardaddy]

20. It's just a hunting trip for these scumbags n/t

[conservaphobe]

22. I can't wait until a bunch of these assholes get Waco'd.

I'll break my diet for some:

[stranger81]

23. Ummm . . . . why are these losers flashing what look like gang signs????

See pictures 10/79, 11/79, 6/79 (maybe this is some weird "hang 10" pose instead)?

On a separate note, if we are shown the faces of the refugees in the pictures at the end of the set, I want to see the faces of these asshats parading around with guns and fancy headgear. Surely they have the courage of their racist convictions.

[polichick]

24. Why aren't they going after business leaders who insist on cheap labor...

and the gov't tools who make sure we don't have sane immigration policies?

[herding cats]

28. They're a bunch of dumbasses, that's why.

Don't expect people who want to dress up in costumes and run around scaring children by pointing guns at them to make sense. These idiots are the product of the GOP giving the extremist nuts in their party a political platform.

[winstars]

25. Looks like the assholes walking around the plane crash site... They could use the same photos...

[R3druM]

26. Sigh

More thugs with guns

[d_r]

27. I kind of wonder

if when we first got Texas from Mexico in the 1800s, the volunteers and Davy Crockett and all those guys who went down there to fight Mexico, were they basically the same as these guys?

[hamsterjill]

39. No.

Please do not dishonor the heroes of Texas by comparing them to these idiots.

I doubt very seriously if Davy Crockett, William Travis or Jim Bowie needed to be part of any "club" like these sacks of beans! Crockett, Travis and Bowie were already seasoned fighters and knew what death was. They didn't have the desire to kill someone just to impress their friends.

[valerief]

30. Or maybe they'll all accidentally shoot each other and have to go on Obamacare.

[Rex]

41. Perfect!

[rustydog]

31. Semi -automatic weapons and masks...but for the Gunzzzz and masks,

these goobers would be at home laughing at I Love Lucy Reruns..."Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!"
or watching "Honey Boo Boo" on the larnin' chanel

[bluedigger]

32. "What I did on my summer vacation".

Or don't any of them have jobs? They can't all make a living selling guns and t shirts to each other. Can they?

[Blue Idaho]

33. The bigger the gun

The greater the shortcomings...

[Avalux]

34. Do these idiots not have jobs?? They can't wait to legally kill people.

No one is going to stop them from picking off those trying to cross the border, especially when Perry is encouraging it.

[drm604]

35. I'm worried that one or more of these fools are going to end up killing one or more children.

If, God forbid, that happens, we will probably then be subjected to the spectacle of right-wing talking heads and bloggers defending the murder of unarmed children and cheering on and supporting child murderers.

[blackspade]

36. They look like a bunch of terrorists.

I mean, who runs around dressed like this?

[herding cats]

38. They're the Yee-halaban.

I think that sums them up perfectly. They'd be funny if they weren't down there to go full throttle nutcase on a bunch of kids.

[Rex]

40. People too cowardly to volunteer for the military

but are all for hunting unarmed civilians fleeing across the border. They don't shoot back or require you to dig a foxhole.

Nothing sadder than dress up soldiers imo.

[EC]

42. Sounds like the Separatists in the Ukraine.

Makes me wonder if Putin really does have control of them or are they like these guys? Thinking they have the right to play soldier in the name of our country.
