With a Red Cross. You’d think that wouldn’t be allowed, but who out there is enforcing what things are supposed to be allowed?
How often do we think they've done that in other countries?

#32The alarm bells of fascism are ringing loudly, are the American people listening? It started with violating the rights of non-citizens by throwing them and their families in cages.

The Threatened use of military is not new. It was deployed during the riots in the 90s
Did you allude to illegal immigrants who broke into the country and was put in jail until they are processed as “families in cages”?
The use of police and national guards has always been used by every country to deal with rioters and looters.
I still don’t see any examples of fascism.

#35I wonder at what point the military will stop obeying criminal orders. Looking at the military leadership now, don’t fail us like certain police did.
Anyone seriously considering this is sorely mistaken. When dictators consolidate their power, they purge their administration of anyone who does not pledge their supreme loyalty to them.

They are only human, and they have to deal with exactly the same problem that anyone else quitting their job…

I am certain to be in the minority, but how is this much different than seeing humvee and military armored police vehicles rolling down streets as of late? The helicopters were performing recon and visuals, again how is that different than police helicopters in LA that follow high speed chases?

> § 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: (b) Over congested areas. Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.

When people feel that their security is threatened, they welcome fascism with open arms.
Large numbers of Americans are going to cheer this on.

#40Earlier quoted context omitted.
We are listening, but honestly I don't know that to do. I feel helpless and scared (which is what they want, of course).
