US Army Prepares For Riot Control - Photos!


The following photos are from March and February of this year and were taken at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. The photos are similar to a collection from May 2010 that depict several National Guard units from different parts of the U.S. quelling protesters in mock communities holding signs that say “Food Now”. A description of one of the events was posted to Facebook by the U.S. Army’s 5th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment:

The Soldiers in a closed formation bang their batons in cadence against their shields as an angry mob approaches.

“When I initially picked up my shield, the thought of the movie 300 was the first thing that came to mind,” said Spc. Kyle Wilhelmi.

If true, these exercises will prepare soldiers in case Obama loses in november. I can guarantee that if our dictator is beaten by a republican, there will be chaos in the streets!

The media is really pushing racial unrest look for Obama to declare martial law and halt all elections.

Its coming fast, its coming hard, and a WHOLE LOT of people who thought our country would NEVER come to this will either be dead, prisoner, or begging for mercy (or help). TSA checkpoints, manned by men with automatic weapons and the authority to shoot first and ask no questions at all, National Guard units preparing to control citizens (how??), 450 MILLION rounds of some of the most powerful rifle ammo made, news blackouts, internet control, etc. What do you think they are so hurriedly preparing for? You people better start being afraid. And arm yourself for our second revolution, or at least, our ATTEMPTED second revolution.

See? Even Wilhelmi apparently never was educated on the Race riots of 1968. There is nothing new here. History is repeating itself.

In the 60s, King agitated, some people fueled the flames, and it eventually ignited into riots. There is no reason for Obama not to know this.

Riot control is taught in the military to national guard soldiers.for them to teach regular army is alarming.

Yes it is, among other things. The 'crap' isn't going to happen 'some' day. It's already here.

Act accordingly.
