hmmmm.......I wonder who these people see as threats?
A Louisiana sheriff plans to arm volunteers with shotguns, riot shields, batons, and a .50-caliber machine gun mounted on a "war wagon," as part of "Operation Exodus," a program to provide security in the event of a terrorist attack or civic unrest. "It's a calling," he says.
The office of Sheriff Larry Deen of Bossier Parish, near Shreveport in the northwest part of the state, last month selected for the program 200 local residents -- mostly ex-law-enforcement personnel -- and began training them in "defensive techniques in the event of a struggle," reports the Shreveport Times. The plan calls for the new recruits to be sent to protect food from grocery stores, gas from gas stations, and other crucial local resources, should the situation demand it.

Stormsingersays...I really do have to wonder if it's something in the water, or if it's just the unrelenting heat and humidity that rots brains down there...
therealblankmansays...I'm glad to see the diversity within this group of white male racists- some are obese, while others are merely chubby.
ravermansays...Palin's Army preparing for the Stupid Revolution.
Draxsays...Have to wonder if the name of the operation is somewhat telling.
Confuciussays...He mentions "it" alot.....I wonder what "it" is that they will be showing an overwhelming force against???

Xaxsays...Exodus? Where are they planning on moving to?
Stormsingersays...Bet they'd fit right in down in South Africa. Oh wait, that was 20 years ago. You think they can find someplace dumb enough that they'll fit in?

These rednecks maybe could've picked a little less controversial name or maybe something that already isn't used. I mean first thing i thought of was that they are driving somebody out of state/country but it can't be that, can it?..
Whoah, U.S of A is messed up. Big time.
Yogisays...Lately after reading several reports about Right Wing militias and seeing these sorts of things start popping up. I've been thinking about buying a gun to defend myself against these crazy friggin people. Then I think about how that's exactly what they're doing and how easily fear can drive us. Now thinking practically there's very little chance there would be a terrorist attack that would leave much of the country in a state of chaos. However maybe classes on leadership or evacuation plans or the like would be a good thing to get across to the public instead of moves they will most likely use in a bar?
lampishthingsays...It seems like someone's been playing too much Modern Warfare 2.
