For a group of idiots who fancy themselves as this stellar insurgent force, they sure do equip themselves like they're apart of a regular army division with all the logistics and support to go with it.

The CIA probably wasn't involved but still, same applies.

Johnson used the CIA to apy on domestic war activists, MLK was a big figure in that movement. It's unlikely they didn't illegally spy on him.

That and COINTELPRO utilized some CIA resources, so theres little doubt they were both involved.

It's way more fun to cosplay infantry than an insurgent farmer. You hardly get to buy any stuff for the insurgent costume.

I'm the itty bitty baby riot shield

Those actually look like ballistic shields used by entry teams, not riot shields. They're heavy and expensive.

They aren't cheap and require a bit of training to use properly and are for room clearing. You can't use the shield and a rifle at the same time, it's for use with a pistol.

Edit: you can use it with a rifle but that's dumb as you're shooting one handed with a rifle. One handed with a pistol is bad enough but if you trained there's a method for locking your arm in place against the shield and actually aiming through that tiny viewport.

The first few times I used it in training I made the common mistake of not squaring the shield to a door and you catch on the frame and smash into your own shield with your bunker security then also ramming into you

As a dumb boot circa 2001-2002 or so I got invited to go play airsoft one time. I showed up in my cammies with no rank on and found that almost everyone else was cosplaying SS soldiers. That was a weird day since I had no other ride home.

Why would you bring so much poo poo if you're out there for half a day? I'm a dumb civvie so I have no clue for most of this type of gear.

The end goal of these types is the entire disarmament of people they don't like so they can shoot them without reprisal. There's no need for a first aid kit

A drop-leg holster is worn when you can't use a belt holster because your armor or other equipment is covering your waist. It's meant to be worn as high as possible on your leg.

Drop leg holsters suck loving balls and are to be avoided whenever possible, personally I preferred mounting the holster directly to my armor if I had to wear a heavy vest.


I must have orangutan arms or something because I always found drop-legs super comfy even without armor because it put the grip right where my hand naturally rested when standing relaxed.

Either Bloomberg is laying the groundwork for a third party run, or he's going to prove that money makes you stupid. Honestly either is possible.

My theory is that it's not a "real" run, just a datamining expedition for Bloomberg Analytica. He'd make more money and have more power from having a viable competitor to SCL/Cambridge Analytica.
