Oath Keepers reject orders, refuse to stand down, remain on Ferguson rooftops

Members of Oath Keepers, a national group that includes current and retired military and law enforcement personnel, have rejected orders from St. Louis County Police to abandon posts on top of private businesses that invited their protection, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Monday. The order to stand down was issued under presumed authority of a county ordinance prohibiting unlicensed security personnel. “Once we read the statute, we laughed at it,” local Oath Keepers leader Sam Andrews commented, explaining the ordinance applies to employed security personnel. “Then, the next night, we were there.”

I truly hope you live long enough to see the fullness of the immaturity of that little comment. Not that anyone needs you blessing to keep you and yours safe at night or keep the mechanations of global security so you can keep buying cheap crap.

"group founder Stewart Rhodes had earlier cited a report of members being targeted, presumably by a federal law enforcement sniper team. Per Rhodes, such teams had not communicated with local law enforcement, let alone coordinated activities with them."

Between this and similar reports of sniper teams at the standoff in Nevada, it sounds to me like some of us need to begin working on building counter-sniper teams.

Always good to hear folks on our side did not forget their balls when they took on protection duty. Some laws just cry out to be flouted.
