What’s Shitburner doing in Mississippi?

So, that Jade Helm exercise is working, huh? Catching bad guys and pacifying the locals.

Anyone think the GOP irresponsible fear-mongering of Jade Helm, and resulting incidents, should be a topic for the debates? Anyone, Anyone?

My truck backfired. --snort–

Didn’t he get banned? He had to find something to occupy his time.

So, I think we can surmise that this guy is (a) nuts, and (b) not exactly a sharpshooter.

Let’s give him 10-20 years in GTMO before he comes to trial as an enemy combattant.

And the media and Republicans will claim the ones shooting at military personnel are not terrorists but mentally ill people.

The supplied photo doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence that this is being handed well at either extreme.
Looks like something you’d see on the Bundy Ranch…or in Deliverance.

The essence of white privilege: you be suspected of firing weapons in the direction of U.S. military personnel, be chased, apprehended, taken in for questioning, and still be alive with all your limbs and organs intact.

ronbyers · August 5, 2015, 7:16pm

Did they find a gun?

ronbyers · August 5, 2015, 7:18pm

I don’t think we can surmise anything right now. Lets see if they hold him. Since people only heard the shot or shots, without evidence (like a gun or gun residue on his hands) they can’t even hold him.

Pooter blamed the backfire on the burritos he had for breakfast…

progressiveoldman · August 5, 2015, 7:24pm

At the same place on the road, two days in a row, my truck backfired. See I am white so the Police will believe me . . .

/snark???

meri · August 5, 2015, 7:27pm

I think I’ve heard a car backfire two or three times in my 40 years of life.

Bueller?..Bueller?..

Treat him like any other terrorist. Waterboard him for intel, bomb his home and shut down whatever sources of information had radicalized him. Put a boot in his ass, as Toby Keith would say. That’s what we do to terrorists, right?

darcy · August 5, 2015, 7:34pm

But you sound so much younger.

meri · August 5, 2015, 7:34pm

It’s just the anger and the absolute certainty that I’m completely correct in all things that make me sound younger.
