Hard to believe that it's been a year since we were all watching Freedumb Gone Wild: Capitol Edition. I must say, I never thought I'd get to watch live as the Blue Lives Matter crowd sacked the Capitol and beat the tar out of a bunch of police.
I guess nothing says 'Born in the U.S.A.' quite like smashing shit with a flagpole...
At least now we know what Trump meant by 'Stand back and stand by'...
Coup attempt, insurrection, riot, tourists going for a stroll, no matter what you want to call it one thing is for certain: Bastards were trying to change the outcome of an election by force.
'Good people'
Well before they were storming the Capitol we were having run-ins with Oath Keepers and Three Percenters here in Louisville.
All these photos are from a couple of those occasions (July 25th and September 5th, 2020). To distract myself from all the 1/6 coverage I revisited and re-edited photos from those days and now I inflict it upon y'all!
It's interesting, there was way more firepower present and way less violence during our run-ins with them compared to the events of a year ago.
If it looks like a Freikorps, sounds like a Freikorps, and acts like a Freikorps, then is it a Freikorps?
Since things have changed some much since this time last year we don't have to worry about these folks no more, right?
At least one person arrested for their actions on 1/6 that was also present here in Louisville during some of our run-ins.
Still haven't found her in any of my photos but Jessica Watkins came to both Louisville and Columbus, Ohio with her band of Oath Keepers before they outdid themselves on Jan. 6th.
That's enough militia photos for one day. Y'all don't pay too much mind to the news, it's not healthy. Until next time, let's try and not shoot one another.
I'm not sure how much stupider reality can get once it gives you a mob of people with Thin Blue Line flags storming the capitol and attacking police. Although I suppose knowing that a mob is planning to storm the capitol and then not doing anything to prevent it is pretty stupid too. I haven't been out of the country for a while but if I was traveling outside of the US these days I'd be embarrassed to call myself an American.
On a related note, if you weren't already aware, Sunday is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Do with that what you will…

When I first heard and saw what was going on that day I couldn't stop laughing. Their race to outdo one another in the insanity department seems to have reaped quick dividends, that's gotta be one of the finest own goals in history. As the song says, if you're gonna do wrong, do wrong right. I am eternally thankful they failed to listen...
That reminds me, I need to get a passport. I wonder what Cyprus is selling passports for these day?
Didn't realize that, I will have to do something to mark the occasion. Thank ya!
Ughh, I can feel the nasty energy of these dudes. They're chomping at the bit for that chance to take "revenge" on the people who had nothing to do with why they are so hateful.
These are such good terrifying shots.
I didn't realize it was the "anniversary," I must have vibed it last night when writing my happy lalaland crow post. Weird/notweird.
Holy hell, nasty is right. Almost all of these are from Sept 5th, that day the cops stayed hid while about 250 of these bastards charged the 100 or so protesters at the square downtown. It was touch and go there for a bit, we were about one accidental discharge away from a firefight but somehow shoves were all that ended up getting exchanged. Still don't know how nobody got shot that day...
Thank you. Lol, you must have😎
Daaaamn you got some kind of death wish/balls of steel goin to those places. Glad you were the only one doing the shooting.
Meh, not really. It was one of those deals where my friends and comrades were going to be there and need help so I couldn't not be there. At that point I think a lot of us had a pretty fatalistic outlook, and if you're gonna die anyways why not have a little fun along the way?
You and me both. Lol, I had my 9mm and a tourniquet with me too so no matter how the day went I was covered but I can't tell you how glad I am that it was only DSLRs shooting.
