Fear in the Heartland
Forums:
While people are taking to the streets in cities across America to protest racism and police brutality, armed vigilantes and right wing militias are taking to the streets in small towns to protect their communities from busloads of Antifa and BLM that are supposedly on their way to loot and cause chaos:

I heard a story on the news about how a modest 100-person George Floyd protest in the town of Klamath Falls, Oregon was met by an equal number of armed counter-protesters fearing they were going to start rioting and looting.
A family traveling through Forks, Washington in a converted school bus also had an ugly encounter with armed locals thinking they were Antifa:

I don't know if these people really believe Antifa is coming to their town, are sending a statement, or if they just want an excuse to play GI Joe and run around with their rifles acting like fools.

Warnings of Antifa invading
Warnings of Antifa invading white communities was an internet hoax by right wing extremist groups feeding the fire. Then, after it is proven to be a hoax, that Antifa never planned to show up in force, some people believe that the reason Antifa didn't show up is because they were afraid of right wing groups who have bigger and better arsenals of weapons.

The local cops are spreading
The local cops are spreading the antifa rumor hear, wtf is wrong with these people. Maybe stop watching faux news and maybe watch the local news. Many reports of peaceful protests in surrounding towns. My wife's pastor heard this from the local cop. We contacted their FB page, they said they would look in to it. These stupid people forget which side we fought on during the civil war and it sure wasn't the side of treason and slavery.

Oh and FUCK Gen MacArthur
Oh and FUCK Gen MacArthur with a phone pole - sideways
Can't believe to what degree of total disgrace to the uniform this guy was. I thought abandoning our troops in the Philippines (the credo of armed service is never leave a man behind) was the worst he ever did, till I read about the Korean war and the Chosin Reservoir, fuuuuuuck.
Eventually I found out what he did to these WW1 vets, of course they never teach you this stuff in school. A Total Disgrace that guy was.
