"I didn't know that inciting people would incite people!"

[billvon 3,173]

Apparently some people don't understand that there are consequences to their actions:

==================
The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC), the Arizona-based anti-illegal-immigration group whose members keep watch on the border, is disbanding as a national organization, after its leader asked for volunteers to come "locked, loaded, and ready," then got more than she bargained for.

. . .

It appears that Minuteman members responded enthusiastically to Mercer's call to arms -- maybe too enthusiastically:

"Mercer said she received a more feverish response than she expected and decided the group couldn't shoulder the responsibility and liability of what could occur, she said."

"People are ready to come locked and loaded, and that's not what we are all about," Mercer said. "It only takes one bad apple to destroy everything we've done for the last eight years."
===================

We have right wingers advocating violence who are surprised when it happens. We have right wingers advocating armed revolution, and then are surprised when terrorists plan violent revolutions. Perhaps a bit more thinking before speaking would be in order here.

On the plus side, at least this woman eventually realized what she was encouraging - and did what she could to put a stop to it. Hopefully it's enough.

So who is responsible for inciting that?

I think you are in the wrong thread.

So who invited anyone to come locked and loaded to the Congressman's place? Name names for us. Either that, or look up "incite" in a dictionary.

Since you want stuff irrelevant to the thread, take a look at THIS.

What were the consequences? It seems like she was well on top of the situation and really is acting in our country's best interests. A weaker person would have let it get out of control.

[billvon 3,173]

>What were the consequences?

That she created an armed, angry crowd likely to do something violent.

> It seems like she was well on top of the situation.

Yes. It was a bad idea initially, but she gets kudos for realizing what was happening and stopping it before it got out of hand. Let's hope other political instigators start showing the same wisdom.

This might be a reason for a 'calling to arms'!


FORT HANCOCK, Texas (AP) — When black SUVs trail school buses around here, no one dismisses it as routine traffic. And when three tough-looking Mexican men pace around the high school gym during a basketball game, no one assumes they're just fans.

Fear has settled over this border town of 1,700, about 50 miles southeast of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, epicenter of that country's bloody drug war. Mexican families fleeing the violence have moved here or just sent their children, and authorities and residents say gangsters have followed them across the Rio Grande to apply terrifying, though so far subtle, intimidation.

The message: We know where you are.

At schools in Fort Hancock and nearby Texas towns, new security measures and counseling for young children of murdered parents have become a troubling part of the day.

"I have friends with fathers who've been annihilated," said Israel Morales, a junior at Fort Hancock High School. "They just hug you and start crying. It just traumatizes you."

He said school doesn't always feel safe.

"I try to be stoic," Morales said. "But it still worries the heck out of me."

Mexican drug gangs have not fired a single shot in Fort Hancock, and no one has disappeared. But as drug violence continues unabated in and around Ciudad Juarez, residents of Texas border towns fear it will spread their way.

"There's been incidents of school buses followed, and threats to some of the students and threats to some of the staff," Hudspeth County Sheriff's Lt. Robert Wilson said. "It's caused us to really go on high alert."

Three mysterious men walked into the Fort Hancock High School gymnasium last month during a basketball game, setting off worries they were drug cartel members sent to deliver a message. Parent Maria Aguilar said "a panic" swept through the gym and only subsided when they left.

"They walked in and they were laughing," Aguilar said. "They were probably like, 'We'll just scare everybody.'"

Wilson said a suspicious car was noticed following a packed school bus earlier this year. Rumors that the car belonged to cartel members never were validated, but after other suspicious cars were spotted, the department began following buses as a precaution.

You don't suppose they're still pissed you kicked their asses 150 years ago, do you? Old grudges die hard.

[masterrig 1]

I don't think, they were playing 6-man back then. This is over some other 'shit'.

Thank you for proving beyond all doubt in a series of posts that you do NOT know the meaning of "incite".

Your one warning. Cut it out.
