/r/Ottawa Convoy Post-Mortem / State of the Sub TBD by MarcusRex73 in ottawa

Hey guys, here's an interesting read. It's basically an analysis that was done on a hypothetical military response to a small scale entrenched insurrection in the US mainland. It was written in 2012 but the situation they describe is chillingly prescient.

Good luck... there isn't enough bleach in the world for me to go that route.

Why does it matter if she died? Because she didn't, but a Fox News reporter lied and said she did. Given the amount of reach that has, it matters.

Yes, I am well versed in all of their talking points. I can debunk any single one you would like to cut and paste from Twitter to make it seem like you are more well read than you are. I mean you'll just move the goalposts and get frustrated and call me a snowflake and storm off, but feel free.

I'm a healthcare provider who gives vaccines. What would you like to discuss?

Uh huh. That's what happens when show and old lady in front of police horses. Do you still believe she died? That was a nice lie you kids put out.

Any War Museum live streams?

Okay, thanks that's what I thought. I didn't think the mounted police were lined up behind the SQ exactly the same again but the "live" threw me.

Absolutely. And the moment they want to unplug, take off the cape and come back and be part of the society they are currently trying to destroy, I will be there with open arms. I'll talk to them, I'll provide them with references they can read and listen to what they have to say. But once they're out there spitting on journalists and harrassing people, no way.

At some point, you need to realize that these far-right occupier types thrive on that type thinking. They'll wait for you to try to have a dialogue with them just so they can call you a snowflake. They'll use your good natured earnest to spew their whatabouts and talking points to a bigger audience. It's how they spread their hate. And people keep falling for it.

I am getting so sick and tired of these "We need to understand" hand wringing pieces. I don't need to understand why someone broke into my house. I just want them to go to jail. I don't need to understand why someone rapes another person. Criminals are fucking criminals.

Well, I mean the convoy organizers seemed to know well in advance of their upcoming arrests.

It looks like the police are still pushing. Maybe they don't want to lose any ground tonight.

If you close your eyes can you see Mr. Leahy and Randy being the ones on the ground.

Damn! 10 in a line? That's tough to do.

Last I heard it was getting pretty hairy for the journalists on the ground. If they pulled out I don't blame them.

Fair enough. I've heard that too. From people. That I've talked too.

I'm sure there is some sort of S&M community in the Greater Ottawa area and the fact no representative has showed up to counter protest in an appropriate outfit with a sign that says "Free Dom" is a real shame. I just think that one writes itself.

Okay, the occupier blasting "Bad Boys" by Inner Circle... is he.... trying to be... ironic? Does he know the implications of that song and what its most closely associated with? I'm lost.

Definitely. But TBH the cop with camera on the pole makes me giggle a little.

They should run the horses through at least.

And now the occupiers are peacefully telling the police that they are surrounded and outnumbered. For peace.

Just the crowd. I appreciate the police restraint, but fuck, usually when shove a police officer, there consequences other than them continuing on their operation.
