All Activity

I disagree. This is the one: Week 10 Friday Jasper at Silsbee

Somebody better put their thinking caps on… First, I don’t know of any Serving who relish this type of duty. If they do, they’re not the ones you want doing it. They are not the droids you’re looking for… Second, since it’s not a desirable duty, recruitment—already at historically low levels—will suffer more. Not good. Third, if these actions continue, and are allowed to continue at any time, in any location, the 2nd Amendment will be in inherent danger. At the least, gun control will be ramped up immensely by advocates with the normal excuses for gun control PLUS the addition of having legal authority, and the capability to rapidly deploy a specially trained Guard force anywhere/any time. I can hear it now: ‘The public doesn’t need to protect themselves. We’ll do it for them. We have the capability and authority now.’ I don’t want anyone to have any more excuses than they already have to try and curb my 2nd Amendment rights. I trust myself to protect me and mine. The last security threat gave us the Patriot Act, warrantless wiretaps, limitless & unaccountable surveillance, and other extra judiciary actions all approved by secret court proceedings. Trump was caught up in it himself! The best intentions are always just that. Until the government gets control of them. Remember Reagan’s 9 scariest words. Take them to heart.

We have endured long enough. HS Football is back in full effect. Good luck to your favorite teams!

Because you just don't understand. Washington D.C. is a Federal Enclave, not a state. For the Feds to move into a state, it would have to go through the respective state Governor first. D.C. is different. By Law, the Feds control D.C., they don't have a governor. Trump is 100% perfectly within the Law to enact enhanced law enforcement in D.C. Why did this happen? In blue D.C. A murderer can point blank shoot someone in the chest killing him, and they go to a "court" that sentences the murderer to "rehab" which entails no bail, arts & crafts activities, ice cream parties, and yoga classes. What a joke, but the D.C. joke ends now.

I also don't recall any republican cities being taken over for days during the summer of love.........

Republicans aren't screaming defund the police or we hate America or blank President Trump.

I wouldn't - but I think Washington being the capitol, it should be safe......

I would say because Washington DC is our capitol......

Hummmm, interesting thought!

Typical of a commie ran city and State!

So, send the guard to those other cities too?

Double.

I’ll keep my 2nd Amendment rights. Thank you very much.

Just don’t be mad when the next Dem president sends troops into a Republican controlled area to “restore order in the time of emergency.”

They got a good QB. I am certain of that.

Pentagon planning ‘quick reaction force’ for civil disturbances: Report Internal Pentagon documents reviewed by the Post lay out the parameters for a “Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force,” calling for hundreds of guard members outfitted with weapons and riot gear to be on constant standby and deployable in as little as one hour. [Hidden Content] Point blank—from my perspective—I DO NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL. PERIOD

Always “doom and gloom”. You libs kill me. Who are you protecting? Criminals? How sick.

Why stop at Washington!? Send troops throughout the country... law and order Authoritarian

DC is a carve out. It’s all Federal land, under Federal jurisdiction. No issues—personally—with Feds taking over Met Police for their 30 day limit. No issue with replacing current leadership staff & reorganizing. But, my goodness, they have a police force of over 3,000 for a population of around 650,000. That’s strictly the Met police. Doesn’t count Park Police, FBI, DEA, Secret Service, and other assorted alphabets. The issue isn’t numbers. The issue is the soft on crime stance. The Feds can actually modify sentencing guidelines in the DC jurisdiction. It’s within their authority. Sounds to me like they need to put more emphasis on a gang task force like Houston had to do in the East Houston/North Shore area—which was known as the hub for the Cripps & Bloods, who then started working together with MS-13 and other foreign groups. It’s still the hot spot in Texas. But, they’ve cleaned it up a lot.

Good Luck Dogs. Stay Hydrated. Hot out there.

It’s not. DC has more law enforcement per capita than any other metropolitan area in America. I’ll say it again. The issue is catch and release, cashless bail, and the juvenile system. Some of these kids are being recruited because it’s known they won’t be prosecuted.

Idk about all that lol

I remember when the Feds under Clinton moved a 7 foot tall guy out of a neighboring community that he claimed "didn't feel safe" although nothing had happened, into Beaumont where he was shot dead almost immediately. Crazy.

IS it called for? yea A political Stunt? Maybe - if so, and the outcome is Washington becoming safer, why is that bad? If it works, they should come to Beaumont and we wouldn't have a 1 in 73 chance of being a victim of a violent crime, versus in Texas it is 1 in 246......See the difference ?
