Armed men at polling station

[The Deadlifting Dog]

I really appreciate security at a public event, any public event. Really I don’t and never will understand the lefts way of thinking. Licensed security guards is not ok but destruction of government and public property,vandalism, looting, rioting....the list goes on...is perfectly acceptable. Voter intimidation...thats a good one lol

Yeah...

And if the NFAC parked 50 people at a polling station I am sure people you would be pleased.

Listen if the police want to guard a polling station then I can understand.

But America's past is sadly littered with armed white men from one party blockading polling stations.
Voter intimidation has been the deciding factor in many, many elections.

Private armed guards from one party shouldn't be allowed to guard polling stations IMO.
Even if you are so brave that you wouldn't be affcted... You probably understand how a posse of armed people of a differnet skin tone and political party can be imposing.

Our police in this country have been made to be villains to the point where they cannot do their job.
Armed people trying to intimidate others at a polling station should be put down. Either party. Just like people rioting and destroying property that doesn’t belong to them. If these people on both sides of the fence where dealt with swiftly and without prejudice the bullshit would end.

Wow...

Well said.

I whole heartedly agree with the above in green.

As for the police part:
I am very pro-police but I will add that there are bad cops that need to be dealt with.
But I do believe that the riots were handled badly partly because the police's hands were tied behind their back.

Bad police should be dealt with too, quickly. That gets me into a rant on public unions and lack of external oversight..... that’s for another day.
Most of the problem in our country is lack of serious consequences for actions. Growing up, if I stepped out of line, dad beat my ass. If I got mouthy with a cop he’d rough me up and throw me in the tank for a night. I learned that catching an ass kicking sucked, so I acted right. Lack of immediate consequence makes people do dumb shit and be bad people.

You cant compare a terrorist organization to legitimate security guards. I really can’t understand how you think sometimes bro. The article even said they were legitimate security gaurds. All two of them. But yeah you are right, the Nfac or whatever they call themselves are racist organization i would not favor them at all sir. I would just vote and leave. Were they harrasing anyone like the Nfac did in Stone Mountain? No. Were they on a loud speaker preaching BLACK POWER, nope.

Not sure they are listed as a terrorist organization but the FBI does list militias as a threat to the USA.

But my example was extreme.
You are correct in that.
Cuz 1 Me 0

My point was that the armed men were security guards in their day job.
However, they weren't performing their day job.
They claimed to be hired by the Trump organiztion.
Meanwhile the Trump Organiztion denies it.
I believe that weren't hired.

So basically they were just some yahoos trying to play tough guy.

I personally wouldn't want to have to walk past a bunch of armed yahoos to vote.

Sure, you may be brave enough to march past the NFAC but many wouldn't be brave enough.

We have the police to keep order.

Having armed men attached to one party stationed at poll stations is a recipe for disaster IMO.

And for the record...
I am willing to bet that on election day there will be many polling stations with militia nearby.
I do hope I am wrong.
