Some people are concerned that you and your boss are lunatics.

I suspect the avg person just doesn’t see military hardware on a day to day basis.
I, for ex, presume our police have this junk, but I’ve never seen it.
I see Nat’l Guard vehicles on the hwy, oh, several times per year, but that’s about it.

I’m a Prime member and I still get ads. I assumed that I was getting fewer of them than non-members, but I do see the Fair Beer Act ad.

Well, I paid for those weapons to be used by the Feds. So, no, Texas, you can’t have them.

Some of the Livewire article buttons for comments aren’t active right away.

Teatroll Rosetta Stone: “Don’t let the actual military practice near these nice white rural areas or we’ll freak the fuck out about a potential martial law takeover, but you better keep militarizing the police in the inner city so that those scary, ingrate, uppity minority communities can be brought to heel under what could only be described as the functional equivalent of martial law.”

If that were their complaint, I would expect them to articulate it a paraphrase of your question, not “OMGZ, Obummer’s going to take over TEXASSSS!!!”

Even my 'bagger brother was against his city/county police force getting a second armored patrol carrier. If nothing else, that stuff is expensive to maintain and takes away from funds better spent on personnel and training.

When wars end overseas (Middle East) the military supply companies have to have a market, and I guess we’re it. The war on drugs and the loss of millions of jobs has created such a void, and idle men are filling it in such a manner that we are now “at war” with our own citizens. Ergo, cops need military weapons for the fray. I’m thinking a huge jobs and infrastructure plan could go a long way in ending this situation. Arrogant pols won’t even understand this.

Look, people, I am a born and raised Virginian. I can tell you, without a doubt, that Virginia is FAR more militarized than your much larger Texas. Hell, even under my hometown in the northwestern mountains sits a vast (and I do mean vast) underground city that stretches all the way to points under the White House, Congress and the Pentagon. The place was created at the start of the Cold War as a likely place for our cowards … I mean leaders … to hide out a nuclear war. Actually, in an adjoining county is ANOTHER vast city stretching to inside under West Virginia. Mostly only locals know of these places but just add these to all the other obvious stuff Virginia has. Texas, you got nothing on us – stop your damn whining.

Does he blog in his underwear? In his basement? That’s what Sarah Plain Stupid says bloggers do.

So now that my headache is gone, can I ask a question? If the police are going to be militarized under Jade Helm, aren’t they going to be given military gear anyway? Yes, I know that’s two questions, but the people that posted comments on West’s site won’t notice.

Oops… Thanks for the correction!!

If you have issues with comments might I suggest you send an email to:

In the past I’ve had that same thing happen to me and I’ve sent an email to that address and gotten a reply from Josh directly asking for further detail. When the boss himself responds … I would think the problem will be dealt with. Pronto.

One word: Nutbar

The main problem with the worst psychos is they don’t even realize they’re psycho at all.

“The way I look at it, if you announce to people with bad intentions that you probably don’t have the full arsenal of equipment to fight back, you are inviting even more bad behavior,” she wrote.

Well then, let’s not have half measures here, let’s just roll out the army.

Lady, you are as nuts as your boss. Go help the twit find more Wal-Mart muslims.
