Tactical Retreat: Tactical Response CEO Posts a Third "Pack Your Bags" Video



Pack Your Bags Part 3

James Yeager: "Hey, everybody, James Yeager with Tactical Response and today I'm here with...uh...
my friend...uh...alumnus and attorney...uh...Dana McLindenon (sic) (noticeable video edit). In my other video, I
said some pretty volatile stuff which I apologize for. I do not in any way advocate the
overthrowing of the United States government nor do I condone any violent actions towards
any elected officials. I was very angry when I made that video and...uh...I didn't have
time to reflect on it before it was put up and I took it down very quickly, but it was...it
was reposted...uh...with my original thoughts...I was mad when I said it...um...I apologize for letting
my anger get the better of me...ah...but...ah...I want to make sure everybody understands that
it's not time for that...It..It is...It is not time for any type of violent action.
Say hello please..."

DM: "Evening."

James Yeager: "Um...Dana...um...contacted me as a friend and said, "Hey, you know...ah..ah...that...that
video...ah...you know...maybe we should've said some...some things about...you know what
people should be doing right now and...ah...and so that's what we're here to talk about is
what...what we need to be doing right now politically to...to further our cause."

DM: &quot garbled)...There are some thoughts and thanks for having me on. ..."



...

...



DM: "Yeah..nuh..uh...Don't..don't get me wrong...I'm not asking anybody to...to be any less vigilant or
any less committed to their beliefs...um...ah...but for the time bein' I think the right thing to do is to...is
to operate within the system and make sure that you're...you know...you're acting responsibly and you're
not...um...not advocating things that are not helpful...ah...and...and trust that at the end of the day this'll...this'll work out ok if we all just do the right thing and...and...and...ah...stay the course.
"

James Yeager: "...(video continues - no further transcript provided)...."



Apparently, it is not a question of not shooting people, but merely a question of when the time is appropriate to shoot people.

I hope that who ever can prosecute this man is seriously thinking about doing so.

... I think I heard him say "for the time being" two times.
Or perhaps I heard him say that phrase in his number two video yesterday.

I did NOT hear him say anything about that it is 'NEVER the right time' to use violence against innocent people and our government.
Or that we should ALWAYS operate within our system of government.

I think he is just trying to walk a very thin line (in order to not go to jail) and I do not trust him one bit!


And why on earth would anyone want to wear a beard that makes them look like a billy goat.

Which is what appeals to his people....it is a statement...I am a racist bastard that loves violence and pines for the days when you could string up a black person and you would be a hero.

I loved it when both Jimmy McChuckle Nuts and the lawyer tried to change the topic
and make this about politicians and not about shooting people who disagree w/him.

Oh well I am willing to bet that after this Jim's lawyer tells him not to make
anymore videos for the web.

A quick Google search shows that Dana "McLindenon" (correct spelling is McLendon) is a family law, personal injury, and criminal defense lawyer out of Franklin, Tennessee.

Yeager introduces him as a "friend" and "alumnus" (?- I guess that means he's taken classes at Yeager's business?) but he seems like a new friend since Yeager doesn't even know how to pronounce (or spell, in the transcript) his lawyers name. LOL!
