The Oath Keepers, a lunatic militia group, are organizing to “protect” schools by standing around outside them packing heat. What could possibly go wrong.
In Indiana, at least one member of the group, Mark Cowan, stationed himself outside of a Fort Wayne high school last week. He wielded a handgun and AR-15 while keeping watch near the premises, per local outlet WPTA-21.
Fabulous. And the school administration and teachers and students are supposed to know he’s protecting them as opposed to preparing to shoot them how exactly?
Bryan Humes, a leader in the Oath Keepers chapter in Indiana, said he’s not sure how many Oath Keepers are currently stationed outside of local schools, although he believes there are several. He said he also knows of other Oath Keepers keeping watch of schools outside of Indiana, but could not provide specific numbers.
“We’re just hoping that we can be a little added security. If the schools already have a resource officer, then the local sheriff, city and state police have another set of eyes and ears keeping an eye on things,” said Humes.
Who wouldn’t want random unofficial amateur unknown people loitering around schools with AR-15s? What could possibly be a more reassuring sight?
Krista Stockman, spokeswoman for Fort Wayne Community Schools in Indiana, said she does not believe having an Oath Keeper guard a school “adds to the safety of our students.”
“At all of our schools, we have security procedures in place, including armed police officers at most buildings. We do not endorse this kind of activity.”
Parents complained to the district about the Oath Keeper’s presence outside the school last week, Stockman said.
Complained about some random dude with an AR-15 outside a school? Why on earth?
Because he’s white. And white people don’t shoot up schools unless they’re “crazy.”
You can tell that this guy isn’t “crazy,” because crazy people do things like obsess over things they can’t control, have delusions of grandeur, and often join fringe organizations in the hopes of acting out their power fantasies.
Yeah, unlike all the white shooters that have shot up schools lately, who really weren’t white. No True Scotsman, and all that.
It hasn’t occurred to them that they’re not immune to bullets?
BKiSA – they don’t worry about that, because they’ve got weapons, and they’re the “good guys with guns”, so naturally they’ll take him out before he can take them out. Never occurs to any of them, I’m sure, that the shooter might secrete himself somewhere to make it easier to shoot the heavily armed lunatic that thinks he’s guarding the school. In fact, it might give the shooter more incentive to choose that school, just to prove how clever and resourceful he is. Might they serve as shooter magnets? That would never occur to them, because they have so much faith in the magic of being armed.
Countdown to police swarming a goon one of these days due to a panicked call about an AR armed loon in vaguely military camo lurking about the premises… Luckily these idiots are exclusively white, which means cops won’t shoot them as soon as they arrive and hence makes unnecessary loss of life unlikely.
Don’t these people have jobs? He just took a leave or something?
