A company is not going allow abusive police and risk their business to lawsuits. All our current problems solved with this solution.

    Some others like to have a choice and not hire a firm to protect their property and their life. They would be free to defend themselves.

    This is what a free society is like but it seems many here are continually moving further and further away from free market solutions in favour of keeping statist monopolies with horrendous records.

    That's not at all what happened. A brutal dictator tried to "unify" Somalia through brutality. He was supported by the U.S.S.R. and later by the U.S.A. Eventually rebel groups, organized along ethnic clans, drove him from power.



    There is a functioning indepdendent nation inside Somalia known as Somaliland which was born from this conflict. They are far from perfect with their own levels of brutality. But they are not warlord ruled.



    But again, the key point is that Somalia didn't go into chaos because people were seeking self-rule. People sought self rule from the chaos that came from a brutal central government seeking to enforce its will.

    The Hammond family that they were trying to "help" did not even ask for nor want their help. Nevada was defensive. Oregon was aggressive. It's all about picking your battles and honestly it was a public-relations blunder because Nevada could have sprung a host of legal challenges to the the power of the Feds to hold so much land out West, a good number of ranchers supported them, but they ruined any chance of that happening with their antics. I guess it comes down to perspective but I think they went too far, and that's how I felt when it happened.

    Defunding the police is NOT the same thing as abolishing the police. I guess that is the goal but he has not yet asked for the police to be abolished.

    His video is very true. He says very plainly that the police state is the much larger threat to people's lives than Black Lives Matter is and is being used to get conservatives to support expansion of the police state. I'm sure he'd know, seeing how the other BLM showed up to kick him off his land and steal his cattle at gunpoint, not the currently popular BLM. He's 100% spot on and understands the military tactics being used to get conservatives to actually embrace totalitarianism. It's the same military tactic they used to get conservatives to embrace life-long NYC Democrat Trump. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." NO, IT ISN'T. People don't seem to understand that there is a war being waged against Americans (by Britain) and it has been waged for a long time. Military tactics and psyops are being used just like any other war plan. (See: Gold fringed military war flag in courts, behind Trump, etc)

Like I said, military psyop tactics. It's no coincidence that a certain someone's avatar is a british soldier and has a war weapon in its name.

    Uh, you seem to be very confused.. They were on trial at the time and may have tried to distance themselves from the actions of the Bundy's for their case, but you have to be out of your mind if you think they didn't support them, supporting them.. they may not have agreed with all of the tactics, and a lot of the opinions of the locals were formed by the media.

    There was some weird narrative that the Bundy group wasn't there for the Hammonds, they were just anti-government, which is completely ridiculous. That fueled some of the local anti-Bundy narrative.

    You sound like you listened to a lot of CNN back then instead of being here on the forums to see what was really going on.

    This is the most negative comment I could find:

    Land said he worried that the militia’s violent image could taint the Hammonds’ reputation and make it harder for them to get out of prison.

    “I’m afraid the judge or whoever hears the case, it’s going to put doubt in their mind that Steven and Dwight might do something against the government.”
    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...steven-hammond




    In a 2016 interview with the Guardian at her home in Burns, as the takeover of the Malheur wildlife national refuge was escalating, Susie Hammond, Dwight’s wife and Steven’s mother, discussed the toll on her family.

    “We didn’t think it could happen,” she said. “We thought we lived in America where you have one trial and you have one sentencing. They just keep playing political, legal mind games with people and people’s lives.”
    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...litia-standoff

    Lol, ya, sounds like she is really upset with the Bundy's...


    Whether they appreciate it or not, the Bundy stand-off brought a lot of attention to the case, helping lead to Trump's pardons and did not hurt the Hammonds:

    In posts on Facebook, Ammon and Lisa Bundy praised Trump’s pardons.


    “God has been so good to us, He has given us the advantage. May He continue to bless us as we strive to love and serve Him and our neighbors. Dwight and Steven Hammond are coming home!!!” Ammon Bundy wrote on Facebook.


    “Thank you Mr. President Trump. This here is another miracle and justice,” Ammon’s wife Lisa wrote.

    I can't speak to the details of that, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

    I assume that most of the libertarians-become-Trumpites are just fools, but some may well have ulterior motives.

    ...besides maximizing dick pill revenues, that is.
