What kind of gun is that? My friend says it looks like the kind that shoot bean bags. He also said that it looks like the 'soldier' is carrying a gas mask. Why does the SS need this kind of augmentation?

Nov 2016
SS: abbreviation of Schutzstaffel (German: “Protective Echelon”), the black-uniformed elite corps and self-described “political soldiers” of the Nazi Party. Founded by Adolf Hitler in April 1925 as a small personal bodyguard, the SS grew with the success of the Nazi movement and, gathering immense police and military powers, became virtually a state within a state.

The SA (Sturmabteilung or Storm Detachment) was better known as the Brownshirts or Storm Troopers. The SA got their nickname from the colour of the shirts they wore. From 1921 to 1933 the SA disrupted the meetings of Adolf Hitler’s political opponents as well as defended the halls where Hitler was making a speech in public. According to the Nuremberg Military Tribunal, the SA was made up of “ruffians” and “bullies”. However, it played a very important role in the first years of theNazi Party.


If the shirt fits ...

The billionaire's bodyguard: Donald Trump's head of security is a former NYPD detective and Navy officer who has a history of roughing up his boss' adversaries
Donald Trump's security detail was caught on camera punching a 'disruptive' man in the face on Thursday - and it's far from the first time.

The billionaire's head of security, Keith Schiller, is a former NYPD detective whose career started in the NAVY, but has for years been for years been the person single-handedly trumping anyone that might pose a threat to Trump, it has been revealed.


The 57-year-old, who hails from the Bronx, has been working as Trump's able aide for the last 16 years and has a colorful history of run-ins with his boss' business.

Yesterday, Schiller hit a demonstrator outside Trump Tower and stole the man's sign, which read 'Make America Racist Again'.

The others are running around in the woods somewhere in Georgia… or maybe in a trailer park near you!

This isn't some special group that Trump picked out, it was an assigned detail from a federal agency.

earlier in the year, I think, showing two militaristic types getting off Trump's plane, asking if these were Trumps private guard. The first tweet in reply said, "I hope so. The left is so vicious he needs that kind of protection." The brainwashing is complete.

I compared that to a photo of an actual patch and another picture of the man I found on the DU.



This only brings more questions to me; why was swat ready in full gear at this rally? Did they know beforehand that this 'attack' going to happen?

Trump backers are the biggest drama queens, & still, their calls for murder/violence need answered in the end of all this!

If Donald won, they'd quite try Hil for being a witch & Drumpf would be the one handing down the punishment. If you think this is so far fetched, you haven't seen just a smidgen of the tens of thousands of comments from the supporters of Trump, to the politicians backing him (like super wacko Governors in Maine saying Trump needs to show Authoritarian Power and Kentucky's calling for blood to be spilled, perhaps even of his own kids), right up to Trump himself saying "I was so suprised to see him (Bernie) sign on with the devil!"

And, we just watched them nearly kick and crush a man to death at Drumpf's rally out west, for daring to hold up a poster saying "Republicans Against Trump". That is a sin punishable by death.

Trump can literally call out to his followers to do what he asks, and they will act. Their answers to interview questions and his own words show they are nothing but malcontents hellbent on judging others and enacting violence...

I look forward to America rejecting him, and hopefully we get to see him breakdown like a lil Trump baby. However, I am hopeful that they do not just let their comment go without justice being served. God knows what they'll plan if they're not stopped. They're so enraged because a woman is probably going to take over the White House! Oh heavens to mergatroids! They can't suffer through that after 8 years of the black man!

(Just a few of thousands of Trump supporter comments, there's literally millions on youtube and other sites that are far worse than these news story comments)

------

“If she’s in office, I hope we can start a coup. She should be in prison or shot. That’s how I feel about it,” Dan Bowman, a 50-year-old contractor, said of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. “We’re going to have a revolution and take them out of office if that’s what it takes. There’s going to be a lot of bloodshed. But that’s what it’s going to take. . . . I would do whatever I can for my country.”


------

Mr. Swick, by his own estimation, also owns “north of 30 guns,” and he said Mrs. Clinton would have trouble if she tried to confiscate the nation’s constitutionally protected weapons. “If she comes after the guns, it’s going to be a rough, bumpy road,” Mr. Swick said. “I hope to God I never have to fire a round, but I won’t hesitate to. As a Christian, I want reformation. But sometimes reformation comes through bloodshed.”

... which would make sense with the promask.

Bean bag rounds usually look like regular shotgun shells.

Some people are never happy. Police are too militarized and lethal. Using non-lethal kit? Still too much.

He's set up for crowd control.
