Brownshirts are organizing to protect Trump rallies.
A group of Donald Trump supporters over the weekend called for volunteers to join a would-be militia aiming to protect voters against so-called “violent far-left agitators.”
Lion's Guard said that their members would be unarmed, "but willing to forcefully protect people if need be."
"We are *defensive*, *protective* of innocents who are being beaten and harassed for their political views."
Within hours, the account reportedly had over 500 followers, and members were already asking for "uniform suggestions."
They are organizing to do, what the average person with concern for the safety of there fellow citizens would do, when confronted by violence on the spur of the moment without organization. They want to help and protect Trump too. They are concerned for his safety and the safety of those who's voice are being marginalized by media and opponents. I don't think it is needed at this time. What is needed is for the media to stop fermenting the violence and anticipation of it unnecessarily. If words matter they need to stop twisting them and reading into them.
Those who parrot the media on C-D are also part of the problem and add to the tension but fortunately the objects of affection are out of reach using this format. That's good for those with poor self control. Most of us wouldn't have a problem doing the right thing and avoiding violence. The whole world is watching and I love you.
Why no mention from you Trump-haters about what happened to the group founder? Hmmmm............I'm sure you know: He got a message with a picture of his child's school, saying they were going to be paying his child a "visit".
He wisely shut down the group immediately.
The media has to stop showing the protestors and it may stop...kids these days are all about the social media likes and followers etc and will do anything for 5 seconds of fame. Just like those guys at ball games who run on to the field to disrupt a game, the cameras are told not to film or broadcast them.
