3 minutes east is Tampa Bay (the body of water)
7 minutes west is the Gulf of Mexico
7 minutes south is the HQ of Church of Scientology and that's a ghostland
About 15 minutes north is horse country
Within a 30 minute radius is approx 2.5 million people and to best of my knowledge the Tampa PD + Hillsborough County SO are ably controlling the modest level of public assemblies in north end of Tampa (near Univ of South Florida)
And let's be honest. If such lawlessness were actually occurring within 3 minutes of where I live, there would still be no one who cared what *I* think should be done
I try to save my HSO for matters I know something about, while acknowledging that many of my friends & neighbors are far less circumspect
Back to the original thread Topic:
Via AP reporter James LaPorta:
Also: 700 members of the 82nd are at Joint Base Andrews and Fort Belvoir. 1,400 more soldiers are ready to be mobilized within an hour. Soldiers are armed and have riot gear. They also were issued bayonets—standard issue but some feel could be inflammatory

Should be noted that the overall legal status of The District of Columbia creates more allowance for use of U.S. military against U.S. citizenry on U.S. soil
Tiny appears ready to exploit these allowances to maximum impact given his irrational and insane insistence on "proper optics"
It is more than reasonable to believe that this show of U.S. military force inside the Beltway was a key order issued to Tiny by Putin during Monday morning's phone call

Thanks, I came up with that myself. Atleast to my knowledge.
Makes no sense to have white cops in black areas really, just going to invite all kinds of racial animus and dig up the US less than rosy past.
Just let blacks police their own and then once a year when an incident like this happens, it'll just be chalked up to a bad apple and we can all move on and live in harmony.
US Army now being deployed within DC

Per a leaked summary from the FBI WashDC field office dated Sunday May 31, there had been zero evidence of "antifa" involvement in the very, very, very small number of true agitators within the tens of thousands of assembled protestors
This was the same day Pres Tiny declared he would use his imagination to "designate Antifa as a terrorist organization"
VD, we're seeing just another tired version of The Gulf of Tonkin with White House and FOXNews insistence that the nationwide protest gatherings are being "fueled by Antifa"
Here is link to the above noted FBI summary report with appended photos of the pertinent docs

To elaborate, via Asha Rangappa (Yale law prof and former FBI counterintelligence agent):
Just to recap:
*AG Barr, who is not a real “general” of any force, is giving orders for the use of force
*His personal “army” does not belong to any federally-authorized force and won’t identify itself
*He’s obscuring legal accountability by moving fed law enforcement to DEA
Thankfully there appear to be at least several thousand American citizens peacefully assembled outside the White House right now, a half hour after the ordered curfew
