Bundy-Style Militia Leader In Texas: ‘Get Back … Or You Will Be Shot’
Source: TPM
DYLAN SCOTT JULY 10, 2014, 3:12 PM EDT
An activist who is rallying a Bundy Ranch-style militia to the Texas border to address the ongoing crisis there reportedly released a YouTube video in which he said those crossing illegally would be warned: "Get back across the border or you will be shot."
Operation Secure Our Border, with its own Facebook page, is being organized by members of the "Patriot" movement along with Oathkeepers and Three-Percenters, according to the San Antonio Express News. Those are some of the same militia groups that came to Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy's defense earlier this year.
The Express News and The Monitor in McAllen, Texas, both reported on a YouTube video featuring Chris Davis, who has been identified as the commander of the militia, in which he apparently explained how the border would be secured.
"You see an illegal. You point your gun dead at him, right between his eyes, and you say, 'Get back across the border or you will be shot,'" Davis said in the video, according to the reports.

... you know what happened with the Whiskey Rebellion. Old George set a precedent right then and there. But then again, the Feds backed down in Nevada at the Bundy ranch a couple months ago. I guar-on-tee you, if it was a bunch of lefties making these threats, their arses would be in jail or dead.

They spent their entire time in Texas holed up in a run-down motel in Carrizo Springs, a wide spot on Hwy. 83 about 80 miles north of Laredo, guzzling beer and thumping their chests.
I'll be surprised if this batch of morons even crosses the Texas state line.

(57,936 posts)The US has the highest gun ownership rate in the world - there are 89 guns for every 100 Americans, compared to 6 in England and Wales.
And the murder figures themselves are astounding for Brits used to around 550 murders per year. In 2011 - the latest year for which detailed statistics are available - there were 12,664 murders in the US. Of those, 8,583 were caused by firearms.

(168 posts)These krypto nazi's have already been killing the children. On the network news again last night they showed children dying in the fields of brook county texas. The people down their call them the killing fields as over 4000 children are in un marked graves in just one cemetery down their. These fiends have been emptying water bottles left for the children so they don't die of thirst! A million jewish children were killed in the holocaust please don't let this happen again. Nearly 100,000 children have died trying to cross the border or in mexico trying to get here in the last few years on the death trains. It is horrific to see on the news video of these children falling off the trains and being killed.

Militia Efforts to Converge at the Border Fizzle Out...And then there was militia enthusiast Dyna DeRien, who posts at YouTube as 1HellOnHeels and calls herself the CEO and founder of the American Anti-Federalist Patriot Party.
After Davis yanked all his videos from the Internet, hers were the only videos remaining on the web describing the militia plan of attack and the motivation for turning out on the border.
Were tired of those SOBs in Washington D.C. bringing all these illegals into our country and just spreading em out with all their diseases all over the place, she said.
A day later, that rant had been taken down, too.
But it was caught by Hatewatch first:

(6,400 posts)But there's also the fact that we're going to keep playing this game of chicken until it does. And until it does play out in a big, bloody and brutal way, it's not going to change one way or the other. Either it happens and we as a country revel in it and slide further into chaos or the whole thing causes a huge natural cultural shaming effect and we enact some real changes. I don't know which will happen but I really want to get this event going so we can actually make a real choice.
