official calls for training child soldiers for armed jihad

[Michchamp]

This shit is like something that would be on an episode of NCIS: Los Angeles.

Is that good or bad? I don't watch TV, especially not cop shows, police procedurals.

I forgot to include the link in my post (here). I'll refrain from any editorials, so we don't get bogged down in semantics, and you can read it for yourself:

Caughran went on to ask Shea to connect him with ?John Jacob Schmidt,? the pseudonym of far-right podcaster Jack Robertson, who once proposed physically attacking liberal demonstrators in a leaked group chat that included Shea.
Shea replied to Caughran and passed along his request to Robertson.
​

this after Caughran fully appraised Shea of the "Rugged Boys" intentions, as you can read in the article.

more:

the lawmaker?s connection with Team Rugged was hardly a secret: In July 2017, during the annual God and Country Celebration in in Marble, a conservative religious community in northern Stevens County, Shea posted a Facebook Live video that shows him interviewing three Team Rugged members in their early 20s.

?Tell everybody out there in Patriot Land, what is Team Rugged?? Shea asks in the video, holding a microphone. ?What are you guys doing??

One member, wearing a green shirt and a camouflage baseball cap, answers: ?Team Rugged is basically a school of learning for young men to give them all the foundational learning and skills that they need to be effective in Christian warfare.?

Shea then muses about the group?s capabilities. ?I love the fact that you guys looked like almost an acrobatic special-forces team out there,? he says.
​

I guess not everyone in Spokane is batshit insane:

Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich, who has urged fellow Republicans to denounce Shea as an extremist, compared Team Rugged to the Hitler Youth of Nazi Germany.

?Any radicalization of youth in such a manner would be very comparable,? Knezovich said in a text message Wednesday.

Shea, who rarely speaks to the media, had not publicly responded to the reporting on Team Rugged as of Wednesday evening.
​

what do you have against Portland anyway? Sad the "Proud Boys" didn't get any support there?

this is an excellent hand waving and smoke screaning attempt at a guilty by loose association smear. Again, if anything real comes out of it, watch how quickly he is disavowed and forced or voted out of office.

I dislike Portland because i dislike fascists and Portland is a city that has cow towed to violent left wing fascists (of course that's redundant since all fascists are left wing). Its also turned into a dump with rampant homlessness, drug abuse and th filth that goes along with those problems. Portland is no linger "weird," its gross, thanks entirely to your team.

It?s not good or bad.

It seems like a weird ass undertaking that one would see fictional characters engaged in on a TV.

I do wonder if the strategies to combat Marxist terrorists is any different from the strategies to combat Islamic terrorists.

A little poetic license on my part, I admit. "strongly supports" vs. "calls for" Not the same thing, granted.

... but kinda like how "supports a woman's right to choose" equals "relishes the murder of babies" on your part.

Except that none of the kids in this organization have died yet at the hands of a radical Muslim. And all of aborted babies are dead.

Not all; according to this, 143 babies were aborted alive over a 10 year period.

Now that there - that?s team rugged.
