Steady pay and good benefits. It's basically being a welfare leech but sometimes you have to work

>>63824091
Waiving the flag of a foreign nation while you attack the civil authority is an insurrection, not a protest. It's arguably a foreign invasion but this probably falls a little short due to the lack of a unified central command. Not by much though. Either way it more than justifies the use of federal troops and lethal force.

we are entering the "use the military against civilians in your own country" and "hold parades for the dear leader's birthday" phase

Is it "bring your own kit to work day" in the guard? Why do they all have different uniforms?

>>63827989
national guard units usually end up with a mix of whatever they can get handed down to them or purchased. so they might do a partial purchase order for one set of uniforms, get another set handed down to them from the surplus of active duty, ect. in general they have equipment that is 'good enough' even if will technically be different versions of the same thing, or a version behind. if a unit is about to go cycle a deployment somewhere, that's generally when they'll get a bunch of stuff magically that the unit just couldn't procure ahead of time.

>>63827989
they are wearing the same uniform

>>63828234
Captain McBald on the left has entirely different camo pants than everyone else and old as fuck boots. He's also got some fuck-huge mega-rig on and doesn't look like he actually has plates.
Hitler Youth in front of him has some personal Crye shirt on, and an old ass helmet, and his plate carrier is some ancient piece of dogshit.
Asian mix on the truck has fucking fingerless gloves on.
Zesty truck-leaner with the spit bottle has digicam on his mag pouches for some reason, and is the only one with no camo on his M4.

The most absurd thing is not the fact that there's an ambiguously colored fat fuck, or that his gun has mismatched hand-me-down attachments; it's the fact he's got a fucking Ranger scroll on his armor meaning that grossly rotund specimen somehow served in the 75th which is basically Cardio: The Battalion

Optics, some humanity, and it is not yet necessary to use lethal force. Besides that, you can’t know who in the crowd is fair game (illegal) and who isn’t. If the crowd were 100% illegal, all of the above would still apply desu, but yes, shooting them would also work, as shooting people generally does work.

Anyways, those guys are strapped with paintball guns. Are paintball guns even /k/-related?

Pepperball guns. Basically Tippmann realized you could fill paintballs with OC, which burst into a cloud of pepper spray on impact. Then they marked a bunch of their paintball guns as LESS LETHAL before selling them for a massive markup to law enforcement. Ironically it works pretty well on the less motivated/weaker rioters, because OC pepper spray can be a real bitch in your eyes and lungs if you're not angry and/or high enough to ignore it.

>>63829938
I spent a year in Baltimore and worked at a store in the mall. One time we got robbed and a black troon maced my coworker and me. If the cloud of OC spray is anything like pepper spray, nobody’s ignoring that, no matter how angry or motivated.

Thanks for the info, I didn’t know they were loaded with OC. Thought they were just inert paintballs intended to cause pain.

Anyway, here’s a picture of a gun.

how do you know they are not US citizens?

A 90-year-old priest in Los Angeles, who is originally from Co Longford, has described the protests in the city over anti-immigration raids as very personal, as an Irish immigrant.

Speaking on RTÉ's News At One, Fr Peter O’Reilly, who is originally from Abbeylara, said he attended one of the protests yesterday.

He had received word that his diocese would be forming a group of interfaith ministers near one of the protests, and they would have a prayer vigil on the steps of City Hall.

However, this meeting was subsequently cancelled due to fear of violence, so he said he felt the thing to do was to mingle with the people at the protest.

He said that in wearing his priest's collar, he thought the best thing to do would be to bear witness and say: "We stand with you."

Fr O’Reilly said the mood was very serious, but animated.
He outlined that street barriers had been set up in order to protect large groups of people from rubber bullets, which the police had been firing.

The police, he said, were firing them just as a warning for people not to riot.

Fr O'Reilly said what is happening in Los Angeles is very personal for him as an immigrant himself.

"With the Irish experience of being discriminated against for so many years and knowing the discrimination here in this country against the Irish, I felt there was something personal about that," he said.

He continued: "Out of my own personal experience, where I was in some of these communities and knowing how many of them were marginalised because of the colour of their skin.

"They're hard working, family-oriented people that we needed to stand with and to let them know we were with them and for them".

Sad.

>>63825545

>>63832381
The Union maintained it was a rebellion and never acknowledged it as a foreign nation. If you are going to quote legalese, at least make sure it applies.

>>63832394
no wonder why you have troubles understanding borders if you don't know what a nation is

>>63832406
In fairness, if you read court cases from the era, or political debates over things like the Emancipation Proclamation, that conflict was whatever it needed to be at any particular moment to make whatever the Union was doing in that particular case legal. Perhaps no clearer demonstration in our history of the rule of law giving way to the necessities of wartime.

>>63825545
It is not and it’s simply part of free speech. It’s the same thing for flag burning. What counts as an insurrection is trying to relinquish control of the government to an otherwise foreign entity, which is not happening now.

>>63825545
>justifies the use of federal troops
No, it does not. The use of federal troops is too premature for it to happen. And if that happens, the president will have to ask congress to enact the insurrection act.

>>63832565
>It’s the same thing for flag burning
Its a good think Trump wants to criminalize that then

>>63832809
Supreme Court already ruled on that one when bush tried to do the same thing. Doing that would be an easy way to get the entire law shut down.

>>63832568
Lincoln didn't have to wait to ask Congress.

>>63832863
Because that was before the posse comitatus act you retard. The insurrection act merely suspends the posse comitatus act and give more authority to the federal military to enforce domestic laws. The issue regarding the use of federalized of troops for domestic disputes has been delegated to congress.

>>63833001
Well maybe Trump can just ignore Congress like Lincoln did.

>>63832863
That was 18 years before the posse comitatus became a thing. And the act serves as a purpose for situations like we are experiencing now, which is the use of troops for political purposes.

>>63833005
Congress controls the money. You know why the national guards and the marines aren’t doing shit to protestors outside of federal buildings? It’s because they are not authorized to do so via posse comitatus. Only state governments can give the power to national guards for law enforcement purposes, but even that is iffy when it comes to how they are applied

>>63833005
>like Lincoln did
Because Lincoln didn’t have any safe guards to mobilize troops against rebelling states. Before posse comitatus, it was a common site to see federal troops being deployed to states to deal with ragtag militias/rebels.

>>63819529
>top right has a ranger scroll
goddamn he's huge

>>63833033
Two problems, congress is entirely beholden to trump no matter how much republicans lie to your face that they stand up to him. Which they never have. And we know this because in that retardedly name budget bill is section 70302, the "Restriction on Enforcement," which removes a federal judges' ability to hold government officials in contempt for disobeying preliminary injunctions or temporary restraining orders. Basically it means the judiciary would be toothless now and any ruling you don't like that they issue can be ignored.

Plus given trump's long record, Congress could defund all his attempts to deploy troop domestically and he'd still do it. Only he'd stiff every troop and contractor of all their money they're owed for the deployment.

>>63832856
And the Court is not composed of the same people today that it was then. Also worth keeping in mind that the best-known flag burning case, over Texas' statute, had a dissent from Rehnquist where he argued that burning the flag is an incitement to violence and therefor not protected speech. It is, to my mind, not a meritless argument, having watched various fights break out over attempted flag burnings since the days of the Berkley Brawl back in 2015-2016.
