    They didn't threaten anyone. There was nobody within miles to be truly threatened by them.

    being loud never made anybody right....I didn't laugh once watching that video you posted but glad I could get you to chuckle...I've seen your OT posts and seems to me, you are going to respond...probably with a Kent State video next

    I've never seen Chris Mathews confront an armed militia before, but interrupting Joe Biden on TV is a bit like comparing Selma civil rights protests to an attempt to break a criminal out of jail off site with guns and stolen vehicles, state park facilities..

    If the guns were pointed at the people, you'd have a point. But they're not, so you don't.

    So why bring an assault weapon to a civil debate with locals? Wouldn't that intimidate most folks? Especially after you've decided to squat with a militia in their backyard?

    I'm starting to think Denny is lobbying to represent them...probably got a lifetime of beef as a retainer.:)

    I think OT here is probably like going to the gym for a lawyer...they can just practice defending all manner of criminal behavior

    It's their 2nd amendment right to bear arms. There's nothing intimidating about it.

    yeah, an amendment is not the same thing as an asshole with a gun in the park...ever been confronted by an armed criminal? I have, it's not a patriotic fest when you face it in the real world...if you believe in their cause..it's your right. If they were defending something defensible I'd support them.. they're not though. Those old guys in the video you posted voiced their concern about being threatened for a distance of 2 feet...I guess their well being isn't as important as the right to bear arms. They should have showed up with a white flag and unarmed to have a talk with the locals...but no..they needed that show of aggression

    If that's all it was they could have left the guns at home.

    Has Denny asked you to mod his new Trump2.com forum?

    I don't really have time for that, given my role in setting up his BundyIn2020.com and AmmonForAmerica.org sites.
