One of the men goes for her phone. The other grabs at her hands. Ozturk screams. Shock and fear ripple through her voice. Two masked women join them, tugging at her backpack, peeling the straps from her shoulders. “I’m going somewhere, I need to call someone,” she pleads. “We’re the police. Relax,” one of the men says in response.
They surround her. Then, one by one, they pull their neck gaiters up to cover their faces. “You don’t look like police,” a voice off screen says. “Why are you hiding your faces?” The questions continue, but the figures don’t respond. Instead, they cuff Ozturk, cross the street, and put her in an unmarked SUV. She is gone.
Don’t kid yourself, this is America. Proper gun training is a stone’s throw away and not hard to get anywhere. I’m not talking boot camps, I’m talking basic aim and safety training.
Barely. Most are lard buckets.
Yes that’s what I’m saying we need to work on…

Yeah and is that stopping them?
They will stop small forces working largely by their loansome.
Again: how do you imagine someone who did “basic aim and safety training” going against five gun-nuts?
Show me the lard bucket on the video.
And even that’s beside’s the point. A lard bucket can still shoot a weapon, and if there’s five lard buckets, a student, teacher or roofer just has zero chances. Shit, a SEAL wouldn’t have a chance in a situation from the video.
I think your sentiment that facism needs to be fought is fine. But once they are coming for you particularly, your fight is over. Try to stay alive.
Sure. But this is about protecting people who they’re coming after specifically… Not primarily about self defense
