Opposing groups will be gathering near Richmond's historic Monument Avenue to voice their opinions over the considered removal of monuments to the Confederacy.

It sounds like the police are taking a pro-active stance to insure peace and order. Hopefully, they are not just blowing smoke.

"We will not allow things to get out of hand," Richmond police Chief Alfred Durham said.

A wide swath of streets will be shut down.

Virginia's no-mask laws will be strictly and immediately enforced, Durham pledged. And no flagpoles or tiki torches.

The police presence will be intense. Surveillance cameras will be everywhere.

After Charlottesville, everyone recognizes how explosive this cultural issue has become.

And we all know what a juicy target Richmond is; the former Capital of the Confederacy with its internationally recognized (and Department of the Interior blessed) avenue of monuments.

As one of our RVA's leading police officials told me Thursday evening, "By this time Saturday night we'll either be sipping bourbon or washing urine out of our hair."

They've also banned all weapons and potential weapons, including pepper spray and sticks.
You don't need those in order to state your opinion, so don't bring them.

We've got the avowed not to be white supremacists defenders of Confederate history from Tennessee and the BLM from New York inbound for this little parade.

I'd love to see the good people of Virginia show up and tell them all to fuck off.

You're gonna get a front row seat to see who listen's and who doesn't I believe. The idiots may want to heed the marching orders being put down for this 'event'. Otherwise let's hope they like the taste of BlackTop. :cool:

While I understand the weapons ban, it offends me some. I have the right to defend myself, even in a public gathering. Just saying.

As for the last sentence. I can only hope the people do stand up and do just that.

What about things with a 400yd. standoff?

And then you should be 400 yards out from the idiots. No need to be there then, right?

They were going to ban open carry too then decided against it. You know constitution and laws and stuff got in the way.
I will be there somewhere. Not sure if we will be support on the ground or on the roof top.
The police chief told one lady that said she was afraid of getting shot by a protester with a gun to stay home and don't go and she wouldn't get shot by a protester hahaha. I am really hoping this one is WAY different than Cville. They are talking the talk but we will see in 24 hours.

That apartment building rooftop at about 225 yards looks too easy. Be safe. Be accurate.

I can sum up my feelings in one word.

"Take the shot."

Disagree, Army. In DDR, you got arrested for thinking non-commie thoughts. Here you can get arrested for acting in violent ways.

Big difference.

I'll bet money that noone gets arrested for being peaceful and expressing an opinion, even a vile one.

I also don't remember any BLM riots in East Berlin. Though I was young at the time.... maybe I missed the pre-89 looting and burning. Though there was some good looting in 1989. I even know some of the guys who looted the Stasi HQ. Of lots of good G2.

The right of peaceable assembly isn't being abridged. IMHO, it's being protected... from the scum who will use violence instead to silence the ideas and rhetoric that they do not agree with. Who are the fascists in all this?

Cheers,

Sirhr

P.S. Whoever's up there... remember that a Guy Fawkes mask distorts the perceived shape of the face somewhat, lowering the apparent aiming point for the medulla by changing the relationship between hair-line and chin. So hold about 1/3rd mil high and you'll be good to go...

I even know some of the guys who looted the Stasi HQ. Of lots of good G2. Because the equivalent of BLM/ANTIFA were the ones holding the cameras and the normal people were the ones getting shot when they tried to riot or get over the fence/wall. Some of that G2 info proved half the population was on the payroll of the stasi, kind of like today here in the US. I bet most of the leaders of these two groups are agents or informants for the FBI, great tactic they been using going back to MLK KKK days. Keep the population divided and distracted while the fleecing of wealth and freedoms continues.

The right of peaceable assembly isn't being abridged. IMHO, it's being protected... from the scum who will use violence instead to silence the ideas and rhetoric that they do not agree with. Who are the fascists in all this? The cops taking people weapons, the cops surveiling the people, the news media spinning this set up theater, its almost as if it was all being orchestrated., You tell me who the bad guys are, like I said above let them kill each other, business and property owners need to protect their property with force.

Marketing, people, it's all about hitting the target wherever and whenever possible. I think it may be lost on you.

Now it just needs 1J's 'sniper' toy box sitting up on the rooftop and it would be just like shooting from on top of a Macy's!

The cameras mounted on the side are just for observing crowd flow and movements that the higher ups can monitor live. The camera that handsome devil (wish they would have got my good side) is holding is the best piece of equipment we have for intel gathering of a large crowd. Single people out and get close ups of their tat's, car keys, guns, signs, phones, whatever. It proved itself in Cville last month for going back and Identifying some heavy hitters that showed up and going back and establishing a timeline of events or one certain person of interest.

I think I am going to invest in a top of the line airsoft rifle for the rest of these events I get sent to. We discussed it before last months riot and figured we could keep people occupied with swatting invisible bees that were stinging them but figured we would get busted laughing our asses off on the rooftop hahaha

We were worried about sniper fire but someone has to be the bait!

And kudos to RPD for doing things right. Their set up, plan, and execution was spot on and kept this from being another Charlottesville. They have their shit together and it showed.

Seems like St. Louis was more center stage since this event. There, they broke out the mayor's house window but didn't get to block the interstate. Seems the police were better prepared for that. Would say it's "unique" now with no holder, just another le sessions, and something trumps holder's appointer... interesting times.
And those cameras on the building, local university has them, nice system, no more urinating against a building at a football game.... they see and track u from wet building to where ever u leave campus.
Reminds me of the Israelis and GB.

I wasn't there, but from what I saw on the news they did a very good job. So far, Durham has impressed me.
He was commenting one of the projects shootings the other week, and he told them like it is. "YOU know who these people are. We're not going to be here 24/7. You are. Stop protecting the people who are killing your children." (paraphrased).

I had a hunch we knew someone on that rooftop. :cool:

I can't get into the particulars but their plan was genius... Almost like a maze once the protesters got in there. If something would have broke out on one side of the monument the other side couldn't have got there quick enough to jump in on it.
