Trump could order troops to shoot if "fired" upon with rocks. In that case anyone who does is subject to criminal penalty under the UCMJ and Trump would be as well as he'd be breaking the established laws and abetting a crime. Wouldn't that look lovely in the House come January?
Have you ever seen the slings the Palestinians use against the Israeli's? You know hiding behind ambulances, children and schools to try to injure or kill the soldiers?

- You support Trump, you are a republican, conservative, thus behind the extensive voter suppression campaigns throughout.
Or you could just take a stance against it right here right now of course? How about that new ad? Denounce that one yet? Yea until you do, you are in the bucket of racists,like it or not.
What ad? what are you talking about? How about you put your lips together and blow? You're not even an American, go screw yourself.

Lock em up!! Don't you think you should at least wait until the "militias" break a law before you start screaming for prison?

So I'm screaming if I want people who steal equipment from the military? My statement is contingent on them breaking the law and if you bothered to read I said that what I think of those in these militians is irrelevant to their right to exist.

You missed that, eh?

So the caravan is going to cross the Rio Grande and hide behind ambulances, childrens and schools to try to injure or kill our soldiers?

You are inventing a threat that has the experts have discounted because they are experts. People spend their entire careers on threat assessments and that's been done here. If you want to call up the specialists who do this and remind them about slingshots hurled 100 yards or more from behind an ambulance, be my guest. Don't apply for a position though.

The Military disagrees with your perceived danger. They restated their policy of no shooting unless someone is in immanent danger and something about danger without an escape.
The Military does not expect any problems and estimate a small amount are legitimate criminal, a smaller amount are violent criminals.
I think it’s safe to assume the Military will be cabable if protecting themselves from rocks.
Now of course us liberals would be fine with them shooting back provided they are somehow pinned down by numerous sling throwers that we propelling rocks at such a high rate & velocity whatever armor they have becomes ineffective.
We’d also ask maybe the Military should revert to high velocity slings since they appear to be so effective. Rocks are free.

If it's fun then whatever, but it looks silly to use that on someone who expects the rule of law to apply and justice lawfully dispensed. "Lock her up" is the reason that gets tossed back.

A shame Arpaio let him go, but why is it a bad thing ?
Because he was factually a murderer, but of course you know that. Of course I know you could be a serial killer at some point as well as anyone born here or elsewhere. I shouldn't try the Leftist "if it saves one life" tactic with me.

Wasn't that the criminal illegal alien gang member that murdered the 2 police officers and said "I'm sorry I didn't kill more"

Correct. He's the new Willie Horton. The ad isn't even factually correct. The guy re-entered the US during the Bush admin after having been deported during the Clinton years. He was even held & released from the Maricopa County jail possibly more than once before killing the police officers.

But it's all Dems' fault, and the people in the caravan are just like him...

... and these overt and outright lies are gobbled up by those who overactive fear centers are fueled by their blind racist hatred that you can tell them just about anything about a brown person and they'll believe it as Gospel no matter how ridiculous the lie is...

He seems to know, so I politely asked him for the information.
