Seriously, lock 'em up!

equipped with what they called “law enforcement zip ties.”
They accused the principal of “breaking the law” and warned her that they were prepared to carry out a citizen’s arrest “if you insist on this” policy.
“We’re ready to make a citizen’s arrest if necessary,” one of the men told Vargo.

Only one of the three charged, and with just trespassing. Make a federal case of it.

And now the three gentlemen get a few months taking Prince Valium and someone to take the guns from their homes.

welcome to the slippery slope

combine this idiocy with the idiocy perpetrated by the RWNJs forcing a lock down for three Washington state schools over an anti mask policy…

it’s only trending in one direction, and it is not in favor of stability

Trespass in a school security zone goes to a few higher levels pretty quickly. Child endangerment. Security violation. Assault on the Principal bordering on kidnapping. Bring a weapon on the campus. Even in Arizona this was not a good idea.

“One of the most powerful tools as adults is the behavior that we model to young people,” Carruth said. “And the behavior that was modeled today makes me really sad.”

Sad? Sad?!

Get mad and shut these assholes down! You ARE IN CHARGE.

These folks are as daft as the insurrectionists: posting video of their own law breaking as a point of pride, in an effort to collect kudos from their community.
I’m not sure we have to worry about another insurrection. In all likelihood, they’ll take selfies while plotting and put them, with descriptive notes, on Facebook to earn the esteem of their co-conspirators.

Has AZ become one of those insane “teacher-carry” states yet? It would have been deliciously ironic if a “Good Gal With a Gun” had felt her life threatened by these idiots.

We all know that zip tying her wasn’t going to be the end of the incident. Not sure what got them sent off, because they left before the police arrived.

But left to their own devices, the outcome of this could’ve been pretty bad.

Seditionists consider themselves patriots, kidnapers are enforcing the laws, and most of all, ignorance is strength. Here’s a sentencing guideline for people like this: Ask each one exactly what law he thought he was enforcing, and for every word that doesn’t make up part of the sentence “I don’t know,” they get a month. The way these knuckleheads yammer it should give them plenty of time to think it all over.

How about attempted kidnapping?? In a school zone. It seems like they could easily drum up enough changes to ruin these people’s lives, particularly because they recorded themselves.

I’m sick and f’in tired of these moronic assholes. All stops must be pulled in the effort to eradicate society of these insurrectionists. It’s war, let’s start acting like it.
