PATRIOTS OR FASCISTS?

The UCP describes itself as a “patriot group” helping U.S. Border Patrol cope with record numbers of Central American families crossing the border to seek asylum.

Dressed in camouflage and carrying rifles, UCP members have helped U.S. Border Patrol detain over 5,600 migrants in the last two months, Benvie said. Videos posted online by the group show members telling migrants to stop, sit down, and wait for agents to arrive. Critics accuse the UCP of impersonating law enforcement.

Crowdfunding sites PayPal and GoFundMe on Friday barred the group, citing policies not to promote hate or violence, after the ACLU called the UCP a “fascist militia.”

Skoonj said...: I thought the leader was arrested because he was a convicted felon not allowed to have a firearm. Is that not true?; 4/21/19, 9:38 AM
Steve in Greensboro said...: Of course, all American ghettos are heavily infested with "felons in possession of firearms" and those people are not being prosecuted.

We have too many laws. The reason we so many laws is to allow the Ruling Class prosecute anybody and to choose those whom they want to prosecute. (Silverglate "Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent".)

Members of the Ruling Class and their clients (e.g. illegal aliens) are not prosecuted. People who oppose the will of the Ruling Class get prosecuted. Samuel T. Francis called this "anarcho-tyranny". “We refuse to control real criminals (that’s the anarchy) so we control the innocent (that’s the tyranny).”; 4/21/19, 11:46 AM

Sure, Hopkins is a bit of a nutter. But he's a nutter in the right direction. He and his crew are out risking their lives doing the job the border patrol isn't strong enough to do. Hopkins' bunch may be the first, but I hope he soon has half a million fellow citizens join in. It's about the only way we have left.; 4/21/19, 11:16 PM

Eskyman said...: There was a time I would've believed that anybody the FBI arrested was a bad guy who needed to be taken off the streets; not any more. The FBI has been revealed to be a vast criminal organization with mobsters like Robert Mueller, James Comey and Andrew McCabe heading the outfit. All of them should be in prison. So I have no idea if this charge against Hopkins is real or just another phony hit-job by the Badged Mobsters.

When I look at the cast of creatures who want these border-defending patriots disbanded, arrested and done away with, they have one thing in common: they're all America-hating Democrat scum like NM's Gov. Michelle Grisham, backed up by the ACLU & the SPLC. I spit in their general direction!

I stand with the patriots defending the border, who are risking their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to do what must be done. I salute those brave men, and hope to join them one day soon!; 4/22/19, 1:23 PM

Anonymous said...: Yes, apparently he was also using a false name. However, the feds needed to find something to hang on him to take him out of the game.

Otherwise, the remainder are still on patrol, hosting invaders until the Border Patrol shows up to collect them.
