Latest players in the Kim Davis fiasco, but this does not look good at all.

Reminds me of that jerk on the overpass aiming his gun at federal agents who wanted to arrest Cliven Bundy.

Oath Keepers Send Armed Guards To Protect Kim Davis From US Marshals

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Thursday, 9/10/2015 11:40 am

The Oath Keepers, the anti-government “Patriot” group that mounted an armed standoff with the Bureau of Land Management at the Bundy Ranch, stationed armed guards outside of military recruitment centers after the Chattanooga shooting, and unsettled Ferguson protestors when they showed up carrying assault rifles, is now offering anti-gay Kentucky clerk Kim Davis a “security detail” to protect her from further arrest if she continues to defy the Supreme Court’s marriage equality ruling. Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes announced yesterday that he had reached out to Davis’ lawyers at Liberty Counsel to offer the protection of his group, which he says is already forming a presence in Rowan County, Kentucky, where Davis was recently released from jail after prohibiting her office from issuing marriage licenses. Rhodes said in a statement that his position has nothing to do with gay marriage, but rather his conviction that Davis had been illegally detained by the federal judge who held her in contempt for violating multiple court orders.

Think they are badass and take a shot or more at U.S. Marshals. Then all hell will break loose. The Marshals would have a duty to fire back and guess who would get blamed? Yep, Obama and company.
I have a bad feeling about this.

Sounds like some kind of obstruction that could land them all in prison. They could guard the food tray line!

Even better if they can round up all the gays, too. Could probably pull in some Muslim-looking people, and hey, the Jews are always good for a pogrom.



And, uh, sarcasm, for the impaired.

This is just pointless publicity-seeking by the head Oaf Keeper.

Given the procedural posture of the various suits, she is going to be making a number of voluntary appearances in court anyway.

Any time these people choose to yet again demonstrate their outstanding stupidity looks good to me.

And make sure they use riot gear, tear gas and other military equipment. Or skip right to the drones. I really don't care.
