Just thinking here. It's pretty SAD that the states national guard are put in this position,

That they MAY have to kill an American citizen! These right wing motherfuckers deserve it BUT it's gonna be tough for these NG., that MAY have to pull the trigger!!

I don't understand your beef here... I'm sure they are adequately prepared to do what they are supposed to do.

I was thinking about this yesterday and I just couldn't imagine one American firing on another especially with the lies that have been used to confuse Americans, including some National Guard members.

If they do fire, the circumstance will probably be clear and eminent danger to themselves or to the country and state leadership and staff.

Arggggggg!!!

that fire only be returned if fired upon.

As for "Will they do it," ask yourself if you would fire on someone shooting at you during a riot. Think about it.
